This is a Feedback to 'Feedback' in the Winter 2018 issue:
Of course, Colin Smith is right when he says that it was not the German Air Force which used the Albatross in Germany.
But Colin Smith is wrong when he relates the Albatross to a Kriegsmarine.
Although the post-war naval element of the Bundeswehr is named (mainly in British and US literature) as Kriegsmarine over and over and over again, this is definitely wrong; the correct term is Bundesmarine or just Marine.
The other military elements are the Luftwaffe (Air Force) and the Heer (Army).

Indeed
Kaiserliche Marine ? - 1918
Reichsmarine 1918-35
Kriegsmarine 1935-45
Bundesmarine 1955-90
Deutsche Marine 1990-present day I think
Cheers

At the very bottom of the table in the interesting article of Rhodesian Military Aircraft it states "A full listing of all Rhodesian military aircraft up till 1979 is available on the Air-Britain website, members area".
Can someone please put me out of my misery and tell me where this file is? I've just searched the members area without success...

Andy,
I'm afraid the author, Dave Newnham, has decided he does not wish this document to be made available on the website, and suggests that any member who would like information on Rhodesian aviation should contact him directly: davenewnham@uwclub.net.

I wish to correct the photo caption on page 252 ("Vintage Aircraft"). The photo on centre-left is of SE-DXR but this aircraft is actually a J35J Draken, previously serialled 35556. (The Viggen formerly 37809 mentioned in the caption is SE-DXO.)

Thanks - I had photos of both and picked the wrong one to go with the caption, as the photographer has already pointed out to me! I will be using the correct photo in the next issue.
