Meaning of DFS glider code?
 

Hi

On eBay here there is a nice photo of the rear of a DFS 230 glider. The clear code is S1+B1-B24. Does anyone know what that means?

Hi Ian,
this style of code was used by Erg.Gr.(S) 1 on their gliders.

Hi Norbert,
(that just felt I'm writing to myself) indeed they were in Langendiebach from April 1941 to sometime in 1942 and then went to Wertheim.

Norbert

Norbert,

i'm getting used to day by day writing to myself. As long as i don't talk too long with my mirror, there's nothing to fear at least. :)

Just a joke - but thanks for Your info, which i do ernestly appreciate.
