Tonight's updates to my website are:

• Markings and camouflage section rebuilt and expanded, including a five-page article on Jagdgeschwader recognition bands.

Hi Nick, thanks for the updates and your excellent site. I thought the requests from KG66 for black and blue paint for it's new Ju88's was very interesting. I'm afraid I took the liberty of putting a post about this on the LEMB as I was wondering whether anyone else found this fascinating message you had found during the course of your research as interesting as I do ?

Has anyone else got any thoughts on this ?

Regards, Sean.
