On 26/04/2004 it was de-registered in Britain and exported to Sweden, but then you already knew that, didn’t you?

I hope that's useful, or at least interesting Jorgen.

Yours, Bob

Brilliant Bob,
thanks a lot for that! Lots of familiar names there, very encouraging. I'll get back when I've checked some of that out and I'll try to get time to translate that "flying home" story.

May the 4's be with you/ Jörgen
