"The prototypes were built in different variants, one- or two-seater, closed or open cockpit. In 1941/1942 the Kriegsmarine used a Fl 282 for tests on board of the CL Köln . With a landing platform mounted on turret Bruno, several operational patterns were successfully tested. 32 preproduction aircraft were delivered, and three were taken home as war booty by  Britain, Russia and the United States".............RS Models
