Hi gang,

In the Dutch mag CameraMagazine there is a report on two recently
discovered Leica's 250's: a 250 with motor attached build in 1942/43
(serial nr. camera 353739, extra inscription "NLL-V-III A6 ",
('Nederlands Luchtvaart Laboratorium') serial nr. 24volt motor
10047), and a 250 prepared for motordrive (serial nr. 324010,
inscription "NLL-V-II A7"). Apparently originating from Fokker
Aircraft Industries in the Netherlands, used in the cockpit of a 
Fokker Fellowship 28. Hidden in a closet for more than 30 years after 
the war (no mentioning of where it was after that)....
According to the rating used in The Leica International Price Guide, 
the first has a rating R10 ('impossible to find'), the second R8 (?). 

Both 'Fokker cameras' should have been on auction at Auction Team
Koeln, at May 11th, a couple of days ago (mmm....didn't someone on
this list visit Cologne recently?....;-)). Estimated price DM 
30000/50000; according to Christies it must be closer to UKP 40000.

Anyone know the person who uses one or both cameras in his private
yet right now?....;-)) 

Bye,
