Hi Hans,

I have only been on a brief visit to FIH in Feb 2011. I have shot some DC-8s and 707s from the window of the plane I was flying in, but I have not been able to read regi's. One of these 'gems' was a DRCongo Air Force DC-8 (in olive colours and the new DRC AF roundel).

If you contact me via anet, I can provide with some material for research.

Cheers,

Guido.
