Hi
Try AVIA 15 as well , but be perpared for many empty files in the Avia's ( reports & pic's are missing ? ! )
Avia 15-737 contains the missing crash reports from the Air 40 series, as do some a/c 'type' files
i.e. I found the only copy of a local fw-190 crash report on the back of a Ju-88 crash report in the JU-88 file a nice pleasant suprise ! !
I like the PRO, nice place and always an unepected gem hidden to surprise you .

To save shocks If you order anything by post ask for a written cost/quote first !!!

Cheers
Jerry
