Thanks for the update Andy - what a brilliant website and a great resource too. Had a look for anything relating to the Flugbuch of Luftwaffe Flieger Gunther Kauschke that I sent you a while back and couldn't find any mention unless I missed it...WiP as part of a huge pile of work I assume?!

https://www.luftwaffedata.co.uk/inde...rungsstaffel_2

Anyway all the best for now and keep up the good work
