That had crossed my mind Andy, and I think I might have mentioned this at the time. I couldn't see any convincing evidence of yellow lenses on aircraft in other areas, including NW Europe, but I did see a couple of pics of Heinkels and Bf110s in Norway, where the lens might have been yellow, looking slightly darker than 'usual'.
I'm leaning towards discolouration with age, as I have seen that effect before, but it does make sense to have a yellow-tinted lens for operations in snowy conditions, so I thought I'd take the chance, and go for something a little out of the ordinary. Oh, and of course, the lens didn't fit - the aperture had to be enlarged slightly !
Got a routine hospital appointment and blood test this afternoon, but if it runs to time (unlikely !), I hope to get a lot more done on my return, although I'm supposed to be going out tonight, so may not get to the bench until tomorrow.
