I've just posted the latest set of updates to my website:

• Information on two Fw 190s of SG 4 which force landed in Italy on 6 June 1944.
• A new graphic in the Ar 234 in Norway and Denmark article.
• A new graphic in the ULTRA and the Battle of Britain article.
• Addition to the 1.(F)/100 article regarding Ar 234s seen by Allied photo-reconnaissance at Lechfeld and München-Riem.
• Several additions to the Kommando Schenck article about the evacuation of Juvincourt, whether the Allies captured intact jet engines in France, and a postscript on Jan Horn's account of the unit's early days.
• An addition to the account of Jagdgruppe 200's origins; something about the Flak's contributionto the combats of 24 July 1944.
• Numerous additions and corrections to the Staffel Kaatsch article, including more details on aircraft used by the unit, a new appendix and the name of another pilot.
• Additional information on Bf 109 G-8 aircraft of 3./NAG 13.

Yes, it did.

Nick,

Many thanks for sharing this information with us - it is most appreciated.

A suggestion: Would you consider putting an "Updates" button on your main page? This would greatly facilitate finding and accessing your current and previous updates.

Many thanks,

David

Hi David,
You mean you didn't find the one that's been there all along?
OK, the secrets of Ghostbombers navigation are:

1. The "metal plates" contain hyperlinks (except when used as page headers in articles).
2. Clicking on the "ghost" emblem at the top left of a page always takes you to the home page.
3. The "Made by ... Modified ..." plate at lower left on the home page: click on my name you get a list of everything I've had published, click on the date and you get this year's "updates" (once there, you can find links to all previous updates).
4. "Back/Top/Next" are self-explanatory, I hope.

[David E. Brown]

Thanks Nick. I appreciate the clarifications.

No, I never scrolled over the "Made by.." bar hence it didn't register as being live. I just relied on direct links.

As per my avatar: "D'oh"!

Cheers,

David

Hi Nick,
I always enjoy your up-dates and the valuable work you do on the less well covered facets and areas of operations of the Luftwaffe. I have a specific question to the Nachtjagdstaffel Norwegen article, do you have the German expression for this:
Kristiansand-South (also the location of a “fighter area battle HQ”) ?
kind regards
