Narrative:
Crashed at Kjeller, Norway; parts used to rebuild LN-BDN. Note that Tiger Moth LN-MAX is c/no 84167, but was however certified as c/no 85738 (which belonged to LN-BDO, former DE840/G-ANSE, w/o 13/9/1959). It seems like G-ASPV's parts were used on at least two different Tigers in Norway. The fuselage on LN-MAX, and the wings on LN-KAY

It is therefore likely that LN-MAX is a composite of several Tiger Moths, mostly G-ASPV (fuselage) and other parts (wings, undercarriage) being taken from LN-BDO. As far as the owner is concerned, LN-MAX is ex-LN-BDO: although the majority of it is, in fact, from G-ASPV
