Peter,

I see, when I posted the message yesterday I didn't know the FP-threat was bumped again, but some weeks ago a friend and I were invited to visit Gilze Rijen airfield where MK732 is based. I saw her up close but due to the lack of a seat couldn't sit in it (unfortunately). She is at the moment without a propeller as well because it was discovered that the fastening bolts hadn't been torqued at the factory and is now subject to debate who is going to pay for the costs. I mentioned the photographs posted by WarbirdUK on the FP-board sometime ago to our host and he was very interested. Yesterday he mailed me the photograph in question. As I said, I don't know if it is MK732 (probably not looking at the serial, but it isn't clear) or the replacement (I think so) but it is a nice photo.

Cheers

Cees
