The Belgian army had to defend its coastal waters ( what was left of it anyway) against submarines... To that end they used the SCHRECK FBA type H.
There is still an original aircraft left at the Brussels museum and in february 2002 I took some pictures of it. I had to scan the pictures as they were taken with an analog camera ( I should visit again to go digital some day
)
