XE790

As I am one of the owners of the old XE790 (now BGA4926/ KAA) and flying for 7 years with it in The Netherlands, I would like to know whether somebody has old pics from the XE790.
We are still flying around each year, made some soaring flights along the coast and landed on the beach. Made one x-country flight in Germany, but landed outfield. Longest flight till now, 2hours and 5 minutes!! Highest altitude 6100ft in thermals at Wesel (Germany) in 2004.
We bought this glider in 2001, overhauled it, replaced the winch hook and start flying with it since November 2002. In 2003 we made about 160 launches with it.
If some pics available, or nice stories about the XE790, please let me know!

Thanks in advance.

By the way, you can have a look on www.ezzc.nl/xe790
