I suppose GQM is the english translation of LW General HQ

It’s Generalquartiermeister = Quartermaster General.

1 & 2 Staffel did have one or two He 111s at this time but whey they might have been in the Beauvais area is a puzzle unless the aircraft had been handed over to Luftflotte 6 and they had not changed the code. I./SKG 10 had no He 111s on its establishment

So, as Tim suggested, according to He.111 fuselage numbers, the aircraft belonged to the 2.Staffel (which unit..??), do you agree?

Great! Thank you very much Chris.


I don't know this unit, I'll make a research on it...


The 400 Sqn claim is an open data online?

Btw, at this point, fuselage number is "K1+TK", handwriting is always hard to read correctly... ;)

Sorry Chris, I know I'm boring but I'm trying to understand...
What kind of unit was Flugbereitschaft/Luftflottenkommando 6?

The duty flight attached to the HQ of the 6th Air Fleet. Such flights flew senior officers around, carried dispatches etc.

Thanks!
So I suppose He.111 were very few...
Does the "structure" of the unit exist? I mean Gruppen or Staffeln..
