I'm sure that the Airsporters designated GD, GE, GF were all Mk 2's. My GD Airsporter is a 1964 Mk2.

Correct - the GG was the MkIII...

GR = .22" Stutzen, 1986.

Hi to gggr.
According to Sam99(Nick) Mk2 Airsporters were introduced in 1959, GD's Sept 1959 - Dec 1965; GF's Dec 1965 - June 1968. His post is on this site and very interesting, it includes production numbers.. I bought my GD new in 1964. Regards
