Many thanks.

Tony. I do not have this book, it was lost on mail and never arrived my home (Barry Ketley sent me an autographed copy as a gift...)

Yves. I had found those profiles and photos. I´m just trying to confirm the correct colors so I wouldn´t put incorrect information. There is some confuse information about the colors of the Weihe in Brasil. It´s believed the first batch got a greenish gray color (RLM02 or RLM62 ??) but photos do not confirm this. The second batch got a silver color. From the photos I have sometimes some planes looks to have a darker color but still can´t confirm they were gray or not. To my knowledgement there are no surviving documents. Interior color is reporded to be also in a greenish gray color, possibly RLM02. After their use on Brazilian Navy, they were flying on Brazilian Air Force and they got gray finish.

Horst. The photo arrived fine and is of good help. Thanks

The history of the Weihe in Brasil (military service) can be seen on "História da Força Aérea Brasileira" web page at: http://www.rudnei.cunha.nom.br/FAB/br/ Choose English, then Aircraft and Patrol.
