One more thing I thought about for your reconstruction: testing of the V54, and experience with the G-6/AS showed that the standard Fo 870 oil cooler provided insufficient cooling capacity. As a result, the V54 was to be refitted with the larger Fo 987 oil cooler, which was also introduced during G-14/AS production, and retrofitted to some G-6/AS. Therefore, 110073 possibly may have been equipped with the larger Fo 987 oil cooler. We really need to see the photographs that purportedly exist of that aircraft!
