Hi,
The map attached may be used to plot the locations. Don't know if that is of any help.

Hello and good evening Michael and Gabor,

Cheers and thanks for these additions, very interesting. Michael; the map is useful for plotting purposes, but in order to establish the exact and correct locations of the following Fighter Grid Squares (Planquadrate), could anyone help me with the locations that fit the following (all I believe in Hungary):

Pl.Q. FC

Pl.Q. EA 1

Pl.Q. DD 1.4

Pl.Q. DD 7

Pl.Q. DB

Pl.Q. EA

Pl.Q. GB

Pl.Q. EE


Cheers, Theo
