Brilliant! - Many thanks for this one, to you and Ray.
For all of it, especially the extensive piece about the remarkable von Banfield.

Written by the same chap so if you have his book, these articles may be redundant, but then you wouldn't have Ray's lovely colour profiles  ;)

All we need now is WNW to announce some of these beauties to go with this.


Thanks Jamo and Thanks to Ray for allowing the profiles to be used here.  Seriously appreciated especially if WNW ever do an Austro Hungarian Albie or two.
