Any history buffs out there can help date an unusual Navitimer instruction book?
It's black and white, smaller than the (presumably later) yellow and black books, although it has identical text and illustrations.
1950s at a guess, but can anyone shine more light on it?

Nothing at all. I've never seen a date on the yellow ones , although the 1960s yellow one I have stated it was printed in Montreux

Apart several yellow samples printed at different periods and showing small differences , I also have two samples white , offset printed and not photocopies .
I got one from Lester Harrison and the other from A. Wajs with some parts . I remember that my latest yellow version is for 806-7806-1806 . I should closer check on the white leaflets , but I assume they were issued either as late printings, or aftersales reprints , lower cost in white instead of yellow .

Certainly not photocopies - the paper and size is different but the text and illustrations are professionally printed.
