Re: Non-standard Lw codes on a CRDA Cant Z.506 in Greece

Sorry to revive this thread, but in my "quest" to find more examples of the "WL+23-xx" code, I've found another one...

According to the source of the photo attached, this Fiat Cr.42 coded "WL+23-106" since late 1943 belonged to a Luftwaffe training school apparently based in Salonicco.

The Italian pilot shown in the photo managed to flee to Grottaglie (not sure if with this very aircraft or not) and later operated with the Italian Cobelligerent Air Force.

However, here we have another example and the numeration seems to follow a simple ordinal method, with the first part clearly(?) identifying the number 23 as related to Italian aircraft, or so it seems...

Hope to follow with further examples.
