SES - any idea about Andy Saunders' question here:

http://forum.12oclockhigh.net/showthread.php?t=17753

He's after grid squares PQ 15/ 50, 60, 70, in the English Channel so far as I can determine...

Hi,
In order to give a quick reference to these sort of questions this Sticky was created:
http://forum.12oclockhigh.net/showthread.php?t=7471
it does have references and links to the LUMA Guide and the LUMA converter.
The positions you mention are given in in pre 1943 system and can easily be converted to lat/long using the LUMA converter.

Hi SES,

I guess I'll have to re-read the LUMA guide. I was banging away with the LUMA spreadsheet last evening and got nowhere...

Ravages of age, I guess...

Hi, Evgeny

Your locations identify the area as being in the Zusatzzahlgebiet 34, the N indicating the Northern half of this Zusatzzahlgebiet.

The corners of this Zusatzzahlgebiet is given by:

Northwest: 49 degrees northern latitude and 30 degrees eastern longitude
Northeast: 49 degrees northern latitude and 40 degrees eastern longitude
Southwest: 44 degrees northern latitude and 30 degrees eastern longitude
Southeast: 44 degrees northern latitude and 40 degrees eastern longitude

I will make a preprinted pdf file for the area for you and add to this thread.

Regards,
Andreas B

Just so you get something, the first three:

34 Ost N/ SB-7
Area defined by the following corners:

Northwest: 44 degrees 35 minutes northern latitude and 30 degrees 30 minutes eastern longitude

Northeast: 44 degrees 35 minutes northern latitude and 30 degrees 40 minutes eastern longitude

Southwest: 44 degrees 30 minutes northern latitude and 30 degrees 30 minutes eastern longitude

Southeast: 44 degrees 30 minutes northern latitude and 30 degrees 40 minutes eastern longitude

Thus you end up in the Black sea off Tulcea with this position

34 Ost N/ UL

Area defined by the following corners:

Northwest: 44 degrees 15 minutes northern latitude and 35 degrees 00 minutes eastern longitude

Northeast: 44 degrees 15 minutes northern latitude and 35 degrees 30 minutes eastern longitude

Southwest: 44 degrees 00 minutes northern latitude and 35 degrees 00 minutes eastern longitude

Southeast: 44 degrees 00 minutes northern latitude and 35 degrees 30 minutes eastern longitude

Thus you end up in the Black sea south by south east of Yalta with this position


34 Ost N/ TC

Area defined by the following corners:

Northwest: 44 degrees 30 minutes northern latitude and 31 degrees 00 minutes eastern longitude

Northeast: 44 degrees 30 minutes northern latitude and 31 degrees 30 minutes eastern longitude

Southwest: 44 degrees 15 minutes northern latitude and 31 degrees 00 minutes eastern longitude

Southeast: 44 degrees 15 minutes northern latitude and 31 degrees 30 minutes eastern longitude

Thus you end up in the Black sea south by south east of Tulcea approximately half way between Tulcea and Sevastopol with this position

Could you post further information with regards to units and aircraft etc Evgeniy?
