Thanks Jim.
It is interesting to note that they continued their approach to the airfield despite the alarm. Norbert

An NSG 9 veteran told me it stood for "Maschinen über Ort" (aircraft over the locality) but that could have been a mnemonic rather than a definition, I suspect.

Re: What does the german abbreviation "Myo" mean?
I have also wondered about this, as my uncle's log books contain several mentions of "Myo zwingt zur Rueckkehr" or "Myo: es wird Gruen geschossen".
