Franck, Ferdinando here (not
Fernandino, unless you want to be called "little Franck"...). In fact, "Luisl" is a G-10 built by Erla (the square panel on port side speaks volumes), so it is not a proof.

Seen, and I dare anyone to see anything definitive in that fuzzy image... at least not me, unless I want to see something not visible...
I am not able to see anything clear enough to be taken as a proof in there, but would love to.
This is to say that, while I do respect and agree with the other points you brought to light to sustain that the Kothen frontal photo do show "white 66", I cannot honestly accepts the
proofs you brought (in the end, only one single aircraft at the very, very best) about the presence of "G" baggage openings in K-4s.
To me it is simply a matter of clear evidences, not of presumed ones.
