Can any kind soul help? I'm looking for details of the camouflage scheme used by Alpha Jets of the Force Aerienne Togolaise. My old copy of "Flying Colours" shows a left side view but that's about all I can find. I've scoured various photo websites but haven't managed to scrape up more than a glimpse of the top surface. So I'm missing the right side and a decent top view.
All help greatly appreciated.

http://wp.scn.ru/en/ww4/a/491 This is about all I can find. There are a few African countries in there, but not the one you are seeking. Sorry. Look around the sight. It may give you ideas dor future projects.

Thanks for that, chaps - no luck so far on either site but I'll keep plugging away at them. But I may just give in and make it up. I expect that's what they did in the first place ...

How is your quest coming?

Not brilliant. The links that you and Steffen kindly provided have, unfortunately, come up blank. But the way I figure it, either (i) I can get away with anything because Togo is a tin-pot little country that doesn't maintain its aircraft properly, or (b) I can get away with anything because if I can't find the correct colour scheme, no-one else can either, or (third) I'm going to have to go on holiday to Togo, which I can see might be nice in some circumstances. I do, though, have a better impression of what the colours actually are, even if their placement is going to have to be random. Thanks again for your help.
