This picture has a comparison grid that seems to

then the grid shows that the wing of S/N 3 is not
moved forward compared to what we are told is the
prototype
(labelled S/N 2) and the canopy lower rear contour
looks to be cut more angularly.


That's not serial #002, THIS is #002.

Here are some shots of serial #002....

Bill,

That is what I was trying to make clear - that the
grid picture is mis-identified as S/N 2 whereas it
is actually the prototype.

No need for measurements now - your glider is clearly
the same as the Australian one
