Sorry Ian

I can understand that L.In stood for Luftwaffeninspektion, but that in itself cannot have had anything to do with the Seenotdienst.

I have no knowledge of German (never studied the language as such), but the word looks much more likely to stand for some kind of Inspection Unit which was checking out if an aircraft would be SOC or sent for repairs etc.

Cheers
