Europhiles everywhere - Francis Donaldson has asked me to advise you all
that Europa Mod 74 is now on the Europa 2004 Ltd website, under Technical
and then Modifications. There is a very strict time limit - within 10 hours
---From 1 August 2007. Mod 74 affects classic aircraft with foam-filled wings;
those classic aircraft that do not already have Mod 52 (the weight increase
mod) will be required to fit Mod 52 as part of Mod 74.
As it is Friday evening here, I cannot check with Roger Bull to find out
what the lead time is going to be for the parts; but I am copying this to
him, and hope that, in order to save every one of us ringing him, he will
put a short statement on this forum to advise likely delivery availability.
I will also be forwarding to the forum, within a few minutes, a copy of an
e-mail written by Francis to Ted Gladstone setting out the PFA's view of the
accident sequence; this is not a definitive account - that can only be
issued by UK AAIB. However, Francis's e-mail does give the reasoning behind
the decisions to issue the MPD's and now the Mods.
