Re: Küstenfliegergruppe in Brittany, France (Kü.Fl.Gr. 506) May 1942

Frederic,
PM sent. By the way - these units weren't any "Küstenflieger" anymore, they can be abbreviated as KG 106 and KG 506...
I believe I've read somewhere these aircraft were exchanged/borrowed from each unit when necessary..? There is this famous picture of lots of Ju 88 aircraft waiting to be loaded at Leeuwarden - and S4+.. and M2+.. codes stood there alongside eachother... (This photograph is from a series that is regularly captioned as "somewhere in France - on the western front", but it definitely was taken at the northern part of Fliegerhorst Leeuwarden in the Netherlands...)
With kind regards,
Piet
