Andreas,
The location code is only seen by us at several airfields in the Netherlands
during the spring and summer of 1944. And not only at Fliegerhorste.
Here the code at Einsatzhafen Woensdrecht at May 24th, 1944.
The Dutch text in the picture means: location fixing and was added by me.
It has not been used any more after the bombardments in July and August 1944.
We think that it was used to help the pilots to fix their position.
