Hi Sepp, great thread, but not sure if it's just my computer, but none of the WAF source links work

Thanks Chad! Some of the links are very old (1 or 2 years) since I've being doing this compilation for a long time (long since I first posted here on WAF). Some of them are missing or deleted. The important is that the photos remain. When I started doing this, I saved many links, in order to give a source when possible.

Regards,
Sepp.

Not the best photo of Krupinski's RK.. but, like I say in these cases, it serves as a reference.
