He 115 in Reval fitted with ice skids

 

having recently acquired a 'proper' scanner (Epson V330) thanks to a friend, I'm experimenting with some 'test' scans. This may be the first in a new series of regular (daily?) archive photo scans. 

.." mit dieser He-115 flogen wir nach Montierung von Eiskufen in Reval Seenoteeinsatz.. ..after our He 115 was fitted with steel skids for operations from ice (and snow) in Reval (former name of Tallinn, the capital of Estonia) we flew air-sea rescue missions from there .."


Posted above is only a 'screen-shot' of the scan which is otherwise nearly 3 Mb in size. Click on the image to get a larger view. Below, a view of the original photo, which is no more than a couple of inches sq. Very small. But scanning at high res and 200% I'm starting to get some decent results. Thanks Del & Paul for recommendations on the Epson scanner settings!
