My apologies for the poor quality of some of these images, I have enhanced them as best I can, but they should all provide useful reference nonetheless. You should also check out the high quality reference images for the GR-9 also available in your PRL as the airframes of these two aircraft are very similar, but not identical. Best wishes, Geoff
