: Hi Steve,
:

: The IDF confirm, they have PARTS of a Beau and a Mossie in

: The Beau is exciting, because no one knows, which one it
: is, errrrrr including them by the sounds of it. There is a

Cheers Tony and David for your responses. Very interesting indeed!

It's wishful thinking on my part, but could it be that the Merlin drawings are needed for the Beau, thereby making it the only Mk II left in existence?

Does anyone have any more information on the Mk II shown on the IAF list? (Message "What's left of the Israeli Air Force", posted by MM on 15/10). I spent all weekend thinking about that one...
