Are these confirmed serials, because MM7009 is not a Tornado but a Fiat CR-42...

Cheers,

Fact is, it does not pop up in the Scramble database right away. This is because it was last noted as CSX7009 in 2011, when it was with the industry for update to MLU RET-7 status. As such (CSX7009) it can be found in the DB. It would be safe to assume that this update had been finished and the aircraft had reverted back to its original serial; apparently, it had not been noticed since (and unfortunately it won't be seen again, given the tragic circumstances leading to this post :cry: )

Fact is, that there are other sources than the Scramble DB (which will retain its high quality level if everyone submits his changes 8) )...

Thanks Frank!

Since this is a Scramble forum I obviously checked the Scramble database, and MM7009 gave a Fiat. I think I can do without the snappy remarks though! ;-)
