Thatīs the one, sold to Cargo Bull, just forgot to mention that it was Bandundu, not Mbandaka, wrong in the initial post.

L-13, yes it's Alfred Somaurauer's airplane, he was flying it at that moment !
I recieve a mail from his ex-wife, and Som is OK, no one was injured, only the plane is U/S.
He's back in Belgium for his son's wedding this august!
Cheers!
