Hi Andy

The information on the transport formations seems to have some gaps?

If you look here, it mentions operations for KGr zbv 172 that aren't in the list, and a KGr 300 which isn't either.

All the best

Andreas,

Many thanks for those pointers.

The Transport information was initially compiled some years ago and needs a thorough overhaul. This will be happening in the coming months (I hope...)

All the best

Hi Andy - that's fascinating thank you! I have a Flugbuch/Leistungsbuch to a flieger of 4.(F)/Nacht - Lt Gunther Kauschke, mainly flew Ju188 D2. Let me know if you'd like any info from it. Couple of small pictures of his flight in K7+CK here:

Thanks for the latest DEFE 3 transcription.

Steve,

I even remembered to include the pdf version as well.

DEFE3/12 is in progress. This one stalled a while ago due to a couple of pages being unreadable at the time. But I have got past that by using some other software to improve the readability of the image.

Siko54,

Thank you for the comments, they are always appreciated.

Unfortunately, not being a member of LRG I cannot see those images.

With regard to Lt Gunther Kauschke, I will send you a pm.

Once again many thanks to you both
