The Sea Hawk F.101 of the Federal Navy, with the military characteristic RB+364 (factory serial number 6708), had participated in an exercise with the aircraft carrier “Saratoga” in the Atlantic. The airplane belonged to the MFG-1, group of naval pilots of 2, in Schleswig Jagel. On 18 August 1962 in Gibraltar and flies against 13.20 o'clock starts it with three auxiliary tanks and an external container for reconnaissance equipments at the four wing stations with iron oh into 11.000 m height into the GDR. The machine, placed with which pilot captain second lieutenant Winkler, in the air space of the GDR of a MiG-21, fired at and substantially damaged.

After the bombardment succeeds captain second lieutenant Winkler GDR air space too abandoned and the avowed its air state of distress (“Mayday”). On demand of the soil it granted, the airplane is apparent airworthy still fully. Therefore from a forced landing on the nearest German Federal Armed Forces airfield Fritzlar was refrained. On the part of the group of naval pilots it had been made clear to the fighter controller in the ground station by telephone that it was most meaningful to fly to Bremen where Focke Wulf is resident as maintenance enterprise for the Sea Hawk. The pilot would have had the last power of decision, however the command situation bent themselves.

In the final approach in Bremen it stated that the chassis could be driven out neither hydraulically, electrically still with crank handle. It was too strongly damaged by the bombardment. In order not to bring the civilian flying operation in Bremen by an airplane averaged on the runway for many hours to succumbing, the pilot was arranged to the touch-and-go and to the belly landing in close convenient Ahlhorn, where the total damage appeared smallest.

The belly landing in Ahlhorn ran mild. The airplane had however on the Landweg to Focke Wulf to Bremen to be brought and 1965 with other suffered average Sea Hawks to be scrapped. Captain second lieutenant Winkler deceased some years later with an airplane disaster.

Already briefly forwards or during the forced landing some “important people” arrived on the Air Force air base, which carried neither uniforms of the navy nor the Air Force, but had much “to say”. The Seahawk was spent immediately after the Crash into a hangar. The reconnaissance pod was white painted (?) and removes separately.

The history of the RB+364 was not however yet to end:
Their remainders were invited at the end of of June 1966 into Nordenham Einswarden into the freighter ms Billetal of the Gerhard George Mertins from Heisterbacherro belonging company Merex AG. Goal port was Neapel. The ship headed for however directly the Suez channel and arrived to 23.07.1966 at Cochin/India. The remnants had been sold with the still useful parts of the others formerly 34 - in the year 1958 for the FRG of armed forces purchased - Sea Hawk to 23.06.1966 by the Federal utilization agency Vebeg to the Indian navy.

The sales, in particular the still 27 complete Sea Hawks for India, provided later for a scandal. The Sea of the German Federal Republic Hawks fought on Indian side in the war Indian-of Pakistan against Sabre jets of the German Federal Republic, which fought on side of Pakistan. Mr. Mertins got a term of imprisonment of several years, because of offence against the war weapon control law. Its letting, the whole Deal in is contrived by the Federal Information Service (Federal Intelligence Service), it only executing aide was, it before court was not believed.  The last Indian Sea Hawk was deactivated 1976.
