All these are 613th Sqn a/c which went MIA. Perhaps one was SY-E or a replacement SY-F?
It was! RS563 SY-F, at last, found here on Andreas Zapf's webpage:

Six years well-spent!


It does raise a troubling question: if their airplane was in such a good shape, how come the crew were apparently both killed?




PS. The pilot's logbook was up for auction once. I always find that very sad, but I hope it's in good hands: https://www.worthpoint.com/worthoped...ion-1110959792
