The crew Oberleutnant Zur See A.Van Hullen and Feldwebel.L.Fehr both were killed.Feldwebel P.Randorf bailed out but died of his injuries on the 9th June 1940. The minelaying Heinkel 115s of kustenfliegergruppe 906 came down at Eyke near Woodbridge Suffolk in the grounds of Eyke Rectory on the night of June 7-8. Officially it is reported to have been disorientated by searchlights, but local people believe the pilot mistook a mist which often forms in this field for a sea mist and attempted to land the seaplane on what the pilot thought was water. As it hit the ground its mine exploded blasting a crater and scattering wreckage for hundreds of yards.
