Default stolen EB28 sighted travelling through France

Hello,

You may know that an EB28 was stolen in December from the London
Gliding Club, UK, and the front half of the fuselage cut away and
stolen. Seewww.genesys.net/eb28stolen.

Two glider pilots sighted it yesterday travelling through France en-
route through Normandy from the port of Caen heading South towards
Spain.


How can they be sure? Isn't one ASH-25 front fuselage section very
much like any other ASH-25 front fuselage section? And although there
can't be a huge number of half fuselages knocking around, they aren't
unknown ... someone was selling one (not ASH-25) on eBay quite
recently, as the remains of a simulator project.

I certainly hope that this is good news, and that the thieves get
caught, but I wouldn't want you to get too hopeful ... nor for people
to stop looking elsewhere.
