Yes she had put on weight. Most I could explain. In the intervening years a 
variable
pitch prop had superseded  the original warp drive propeller. A fire 
extinguisher
is now acknowledged as part of the permanent aircraft equipment.  

A remaining three kilos gain in ten years could not be reconciled. Anecdotally
many aircraft gain weight as they age. Consequently Im happy with the result.
My routine W/B calculations now reflect the corrected figure.

Bob
