No probs Rade

...I've got a small selection of GA+T coded Fi156's in my code listing, but thanks for the additional info ArtieBob..

...and I meant to add as a matter of interest that a photo of a Fi156D coded GA+TL is featured on page 330 of "Luftwaffe Codes, Markings and Units 1939-45". The caption says that it was taken at Rovaniemi Finland in 1941 and served with Sanitäts Flugber 8...

Could nt see a four leaf clover clearly. somethnig under the cockpit but not fully readable.

Seems to have an interesting sharp camouflage though.

This was a very interesting photo

http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?...tem=6158044722

Interestingly there is a photo on Luftwaffe Camouflage and Markings which I received today very similar to the above.(Still reading!!)

Classed as an experimental scheme.

On Page 52 it shows a Bf109E-1 of JG53 with a > marking. It was photographed in Wiesbaden in September 1939 and the colours were RLM70, 71 and 02, very angular with 65 underside.
Proved too time consuming and complex.

The ebay photo is the same colours and but different pattern. Also coded |>. Very interesting though as I said before.
