Re: 1.(F)/120 Stavanger-Sola
Tony,
Yes, I have also noted this "problem" but found an explanation;
Michael Holms site say for 1.(F)/120;
Stavanger-Sola, 7.40 - 8.44
Eggemoen, 8.44 - 12.44
Lister, 12.44 - 3.45
Quakenbrück, 3.45 - 5.45
I have an interest in JU188 D-2 Wk Nr 230443 A6+FH that came down in Little Loch Broom in Scotland 29.12.44. It is stated that they came from Stavanger-Sola as well even though the date indicates their home base to be Eggemoen/Lister in December.
I found the answer in the interogation report from the survivor;
"1 On the 26th December the crew of this aircraft took of from their base at Eggemoen, 27 miles NW of Oslo, and flew to Lista (Lister?) where they were to start a reconnaisance flight flight over Scapa Flow as soon as favourable weather conditions permitted.
2. On the following day the crew were given orders to proceed to Stavanger-Sola and to begin their operational flight from there. At about noon 28 December, the day following their arrival to Stavanger-Sola, the crew were informed that the weather forcast was propiticus and at 1300 hours the crew was given a hurried briefing"
That show that despite their main base is given to something else they still used Stavanger-Sola for operations.
Hope that this gives a bit of an explanation.
Best Regards
Peter
