Many thanks for the info Merlin, Leo and Ed!
As usually, an answered question raises more questions:
Will it be worthwhile to purchase the Michael Balss books for futher reference (or even pictures) of
R4+LR (360153) and it's pilot A. Molenaar or is the info limited to the data found in the LWFLV losses reports?
Since 360153 was flown by Erg./NJG 2 on that fatal night due to the icey conditions, is there any chance the book
Carlsen & Meyer: Die Flugzeugführer-Ausbildung, Band II "Fliegerwaffenschulen und Ergänzungsgruppen" will provide more in-depth stories of Erg./NJG 2 during it's time at Gilze-Rijen?

Could you explain RR+SC in relation to R4+LR?
