 * Support - it's less likely a better image of this plane will emerge given the crash. MER-C 11:44, 27 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Support From memory, I added this image to the article on the crash as it's the best one we have of this aircraft. It clearly depicts the plane and is of a high technical standard. Nick-D (talk) 23:15, 30 November 2022 (UTC)
