Interesting. Which software do you use for the refurbishing?

As usual this is first answered with "it depends" Gunter.

I use a suite of e-tools depending on the complexity of work needed.

1. NCH Software, Image & Photo Software, lighting, sharpening, colourize, batch process, retouching, special effects and much more.

2. Wondershare - Fotophire Editing Toolkit, Photo Editor, Photo Cutter and Photo Eraser, particularly photo eraser.

3. Microsoft Photo Editor v3+, an old program that does not care which version of Windows one has, this program is perfect for what I call "pixel painting", repairs of many sorts.

4. IrfanView v4.57 (latest), freeware...can do amazing things has a learning curve, loaded with lots of plugins for various requirements.

I do not use photoshop which most likely does much of these things as well.

During WWII, RAF officers trained to be pilots here in Canada.  Dad was RAF English and spent a year here getting his pilot wings learned to fly Liberators etc as part of BCATP training program.

RAF officers as were New Zealand, Australians, US were given an ID card from the RCAF
