……………………………………………………………………………………
The CCSG as at 2000 records earliest recorded date of G /11 (CCSG FH V11) as 31 May 1944 this extends that date to 7 Jul 1943 with this used in the period where apparently British & or French censorship existed simultaneously…Pity that the airgraph itself has not survived but still an interesting item with the price reflected wih missing content
