Salut Rémi!

The period June-July 1941 is difficult from archive document perspective. Finnish flight logs etc. do not really start recording aircraft codes until late 1942. For year 1941 there may not be Air Observation logs at all surviving. At least I have not seen one yet. There was some sort of reorganization in the Air Observation in Spring 1942 which may be the explanation for the situation.

About flying activity. I would expect half dozen or more transport flights per day if a Luftwaffe unit was transferring. At least that is what I remember from Summer 1944 situation (Commando Kuhlmey activity). Half of dozen per week is more like routine supply activity.

Hannu Valtonen mentions 2./K.Gr.z.b.V 108 planes based at Pori at the beginning of war (June 1941) and later also at Malmi in his book Luftwaffe Pictorial (In Finnish, page 165). I guess the transport flight activity was related to KGr 806 actions over Estonia and Gulf of Finland.


Hope this helps some,
Kari
