Blohm und Voss BV 138 on eBay
 
On ebay here there is a photo of a BV 138 with the code K6+BE. I assume that this would be from KflGr.406. But I can not quite get by head around the letter E for the staffel code. I have this unit using the normal H, K, L format for their staffel. Is this perhaps an unusual stab code?

I'm away from home so can't check, but it may also be the second half of a Stkz what was not over-painted.

Well Ian

My money is on you. I also read K6+BE on this one.... :)

Cheers

Thanks Adam and Stig. I havn't found any (other) stab aircraft for this unit. So am unable to rule 'E' in or out as the stab code. But it appears likely?
