Hello Andreas,

thank you, valuable as always.

Do you have the data for June 10th and July 20th? It may make clear the timeframe of delivery and “Abgang”.
And, June 20th, for example - is it the evening data or morning?

I’ll try to find the June-July reports, maybe they contains a correction really.

Or maybe among 7 damaged FW189 were planes from other units or (more likely) planes in repair units.
