Blohm & Voss BV 138MS (Minensuch/mine clearing) being lowered into, or hoisted out of the water, location and date unknown. A few BV 138C-1 Seedrache (Sea Dragon) were converted to minesweepers in 1942/43, the self defence armament was removed and a degaussing device, a hoop with the same diameter as the length of the fuselage and magnetic field-generating equipment, was fitted. These were used to sweep for mines and detonate them. For more, see my Facebook group - Eagles Of The Reich
