Re: nightfighter doing recce?
It was quite common for a squadron to search for their own airplanes that went missing over the sea. Besides that, I have nightfighters from NJG 3 that took part in weather recce over the North Sea in the winter of 1944/45. Normally pre-recce before bigger allied penetration of German air space, but to get an idea of the weather over the North Sea. It was normally very experienced crews that participated in these tasks.
