Hi mate,

About 11 000 printed photos and 9 000 dias...
I have to say that about 15% were given to me by "old timers" or other comrads.

Cheers,

Can you give me a closeup scan of one of the unit emblems? i could not find it with the serial registrations. The Fiats must have belonged to some of the Aufklärungsgeschwader.

Hi Wingman,

Here is the close up. It's what I can do the best...

And another picture with the same Mirage III R and another FIAT G 91R. As you can see the FIATs sport the insigna of French ER 1/33 "Belfort".

Hi Wingman81,

I've searched in my notes and the FIATS didn't belonged to one Aufklärungsgeschwader, but belonged to LeKG 41. The year is 1968-1969.
The code is not listed in most histories of the Bundesluftwaffe, but I know of another G 91R-3 (31+75) of LeKG 41.

Here a link for other planes of LeKG 41 :
