DFS 230 grip

Hello,

A friend of mine recently acquired a DFS 230 control grip that according to the seller was removed from a DFS 230 at the Castel Benito (Lybia) Airfield in January 1943. It features some type of linen covering on top of the grip, which may have been a field modification to have a better grip.

Does anybody have information about captured DFS 230 at Castel Benito and/or wartime photos of DFS 230 cockpits that show a similar linen covered grip?

Thanks!

Roger
