Re: Israeli Air Force Heuer - help with markings

That's a salient point Mark. I'm still not hugesly convinced that it's SAAF.
Maybe I'm more trusting than most, but the German dealer I bought it from, who I communicated only via email, seemed like a straight up sort of bloke. I've no reason (other than blind trust) to not believe him. I like to think that there are still some honest stand-up people out there... so I'm still convinced there is an Israeli connection of some sort. I know that can't be backed up - but I'll continue to gather info and endeavour to discover more.

: that it could have.
