Re: 269 Sqdn Anson combat with Do.18. 19 Sept. 1939
'Seaplanes', my apologies if the following question is naïve.
I refer to your posting on 29 October(9.23) in which you state: "2./606 in Hörnum code 8L+ -K. On 25.10.39 redesignated 2./906 with unit code 8L and Staffel letter K".
And now (just tho get things straight in my own mind)the question: On the strength of what you wrote, am I right in thinking that KüFlGr. 906 came into existence on 25.10. 39; that the code for KüFlGr. 606 (8L+ ,up to that date) was re-allocated to KüFlGr.906; and that KüFlGr.606 was allocated a new code (namely, 7T+) on 25.10 39?
If that is correct, it would explain why a ./606 Do.18 with the coding 8L+EK could be involved with the Anson on 19 Sept.1939 and why the same Do.18 coded 8L+EK (and with same crew but now part of ./906) could be shot down off Kinnaird Head on 11 April 1940.
