The other squadrons in the Wing were Escuadrón 362 (CASA 2111, license built He 111) and Escuadrón 364 (Hispano Aviación HA-1112, license built Bf.109).

Ferries ... and they were proposed and made-ready in the coastal ports for use in Sea Lion, 1940. Staggering ....
Those same ferries did see action in amphibious operations against the Soviets on hhe black sea, IIRC
