Re: Burchard Flakowski

It would appear that Flakowski was a pilot with the transport unit 1/KGzbV 103 and that he flew in groundcrew from the Bf 110 unit 1/ZG 76, the unit which 'captured' Fornebu earlier that day. Apart from odd aircraft, German combat flying units did not have their own transport aircraft hence his unit was carrying out this role. He appears to have been posted to another unit afterwards, possibly but not definitely KG 76, possibly as an instructor if the fact that he was an instructor is correct. Apart from the interview, nothing has come to light to confirm he commanded a Gruppe or even a Staffel apart that F1+AC would indicate it was the mount of the Gruppen Kommandeur; I cannot recall if the loss report states after his name Gr Kdr
