Surveyor's notes: Few significant problems with this model unless ill-treated (it was a popular model with hire fleet operators). Milky windows on some examples are caused by delamination of the glass. Damp around screens may be due to condensation rather than a leak: it is unlikely to indicate a leak unless the superstructure has been involved in an accident. Some staining on internal bulkheads due to water ingress.
