Sad news indeed ;-(
Yes this was the sole airworthy Casa built aircraft , there are a couple under restoration in Europe one possibly to airworthy. Unfortunately there wern't many takers of the aircraft after the Battle of Britain filming.
There are only two complete examples of Luftwaffe Heinkels surviving , with the possibility of another being recovered by the Norwegians at some stage.
