Default Blohm & Voss BV 138

Just wondering whether anyone has tackled this beast... http://home.swipnet.se/our_stuff/Planes/BV138.htm

Awesome flying boat which focussed on recon and surveillance.

IIRC, there where plans to use this plane for u-boat re-fueling.

Other way around

The aircraft could be refuelled from uboats

Most if not all Bv 138s were equipped with catapult points for operation from seaplane tenders and about 20 Bv 138C-1s were equipped with a modified fuel filter to remove possible pollutants when refueling from u-boats.

Of course if you have these it would be nice to have a seaplane tender too

Luftwaffe seaplane tenders
Not kreigsmarine
