KG30 losses - 15 Aug & 9 Sept 1940

What worries me somewhat is the difference your answer under post 7 is to the book Luftwaffe crashlog vol 2 published three years ago

The second 4./KG 30 aircraft was then listed as 4D+-M crashing in Auburn Farm. Now both individual letter D and name of the farm is both known/changed.

The 7./KG 30 aircraft 4D+DR lacked WNr (which I thought was surprising since it is very intact and also had the digits 48 clearly visible), but which now has been located. Crash place in the book was Bridlington Reservoir, Yorkshire, while you use something totally different now.

There are also other differences between your post 8 and Vol 3 in the book series. For example WNr 0274 is now an A-5 while the book says it was an A-1.

Are the changes made due to new archives located, or checkings of spellings/misprints or re-reading records noticing something has been missed? Because if so much can be found to differ while adding three more years of research, will you and the other in the Team ever dare to finish your 1939-1940 project? Perhaps I should put that question to Larry, but I suppose the moment came right now. I was hoping for the first volume to be published quite soon....

Cheers
