Re: Some KGr 506 code+WNr pairs from 1941 - exact subtypes?

Ed

Last Thursday I cleared 8/42 in a long day visit at the PRO but the info gets greater for each day so it won't be possible soon to clear a month in a visit. I think the order was given a few months before 8/42 that but as I take about 500 pictures per visit its possible I didn't bother to photo that one. But if the order was part of some coding lists then I would have taken a pic. If I come across this doc later I will contact you.

In one file in 8/42 there was a 3 page list of 3 digit codes and c/n and the aircraft stauus, typically "At Tatoi having new engine fitted", they all appear to be Ju 52 but I think the airfield wreck reports for Tunsia, Sicily, and Italy record such codes. I will look at these reports to see if any other than transport types have this type of code

Regards

Tony
