According to Michael Holm Flughafen-Bereichs-Kommando 1/IV was based in Albania from 9.1943 to 12.1943 and administered the two seaplane bases at Kumbor (Montenegro) and Durres (Albania). Not a place for advanced training with the Ar 96 but also no known Ar 196 units based there.

Hello Jörn,
just adding my piece to the puzzle. At the moment I have no way of verifying if Holm is correct regarding Albania. You could very well be correct, and the training bit was purely based on the main role the Ar 96 was used for. Perhaps the German spelling of the location in the actual loss record will help us further narrow it down.
Regards,
Hans

WNr. 623010 seems to be a Fokker production aircraft, but it does not fit the range given by Tom Willis here .

WNr. 100505 is even more of a mystery: 1960505 seems far too high. Another possibility is WNr. 1005, which could explain the E in D1+FE as a leftover from its SKZ (DH+ZE).

@David
WNr. 1960290 is not in my list! Do you have more details?

I would love to see the exact location of this crash! Were does the information come from. I have tried, without luck to find it in the GQM-returns, both operational and schools???

You are correct. In the 100--- series there is a gap at least between 100385 and 100428. According to the Stammkennzeichen series
100385 had CT+KE and 100428 CT+KH. Consequently two more aircraft are there somewhere. Only rarely were there breaks in the middle of a Stammkennzeichen series. I have histories for both 100385 and 100428. I hope your friend could find more about the Fokker W.Nr. I only have seven aircraft in this series and that is not much to build on. Most of the Fokker production was delivered in 1944, but even for the first six months of this year, very few aircraft is mentioned with Fokker c/n's. Part of the problem is that in many cases only the last three digits of the W.Nr. was reported, making it impossible to know if it was an Arado-built or Fokker built aircraft. I hope someone can assist in this discussion, which by the way has turned completely off the original topic.
