I'm always pleased to see the Gutersloh F2As although I prefer the olive drab scheme.

Can't agree with your preference for olive drab but to show there's no hard feelings :)

Loving these. 1st pair must be late 60s prior to the toning down with olive drab?

IIRC Toning down commenced around late 1971/early 1972....they were all still silver when I arrived at Gutersloh, March 1970.

P.S. fab pics, thank's for posting :thumbs:
It's so nice to be insane...nobody asks you to explain.
