Yes, although it might be possible to explore with a good remote camera or endoscope.
It is surprising how difficult it can be to find the ID plates on an airframe. Few are visible with the aircraft assembled. Another interesting fact with the original Black-Six, Wrk Nr 10639 was that it has different wings. From memory, the right wing is 10566 and the left is 10638! There is little doubt that the wings were swopped in Africa due to damage and the need to generate a serviceable aircraft. Can anyone say if they know the fate of 10566 and 10638 and any pics? Cheers
