Dear Ray,

Thank you very much for the information and the photograph of the detached planks from FMC.
It's most kind of you to have gone to the the trouble.

Going waaay back in this thread, AC6T will be saddened to learn that the former ZS-JRL (which I did <not> fly: it was -JRB on which I did less-than one hour in the circuit, already having experience on -KPB, a C441 at Wing Airways) -- the ex-ZS-JRL, however, re-registered as N32WS, sustained "substantial damage" back in January 2012 when landing on an icy runway at Oshkosh. I cannot learn whether or not back aairworthy.

If you read this,, I know you'll find this of interest.

PS: For the benefit of Roger Bozzoli, I flew plenty hours on -VSA when it was brand-spanking new in 1973.
