Maybe we can have a lekker Fuji mirrorless chat here?

No :) ...just post evidence :)
My goodness…never thought I was off Avcom for THAT long…

@Bearcat, I hope to visit MBay again soon and when I do I will definitely make a turn at the field…

For now I could just say that the mirrorless journey is over for me…with Fuji at least…back with Canon D-SLR and will be for as long as possible…

Registration is D-MJKU. However, it does not seem to be registered in Germany, so I am told. It was parked in my hangar, as a favour for another hangar owner (by the previous owner of my hangar). I asked that it be removed, my request fell on deaf ears, so now it is parked on the apron.

They have apparently not heard from the owner in 10 years, they (everyone I talked to at the airport) presume he passed away. I believe some ads were run in German newspapers but no contact was received. He owes the hangar owner, where it used to be hangared, something like R90k for hangar fees.

It is sad to see it outside in the elements, but I don't have space for it unfortunately. :(

:shock: Interesting and shocking at the same time..really didn't expect this to come about.Indeed very sad to see that lovely plane sitting outside.Was at the field about 3 weeks ago when i saw that plane parked outside,but could not see the registration from where i was sitting at the restaurant.I really hope that a family member comes forward.

That registration in my opinion is fake. To my knowledge all single engine aircraft in Germany should start with an "E".

As in D-EXXX. The E stands of Einmotor - single engine.

Here is the only picture of D-MJKU I can find. Taken on 09.07.2011 at EDLS, Stadtlohn-Vreden, Germany

It also appears that D-M is for Ultralights.
