Blue or Blue-Gray Camouflage on Bf 109E

[Modeldad]

A very good article on the introduction of the "Grey / Gray".

I too believe that just as the LW used French munitions in the BoB, they could have used French paints. Why not? It was there for the taking.

Yes, I see how I missed your point, perhaps because I don't think I've encountered any interpretation of that report suggesting anything more than just a bright green as part of the camouflage. As you have it in your hand, you have a clearer knowledge to what was actually written. This is simply an accurate observation, which I see as an indication of the rarity of such a scheme to British Intelligence at the time, not necessarily reflecting any naivety of the observer.
