First production aircraft c/n 2 Stig

I have only seen one single aircraft with this particular angled glazed nose. No Prince had it, no Survey Prince had it and no Sea Prince did. The only aircraft that did was the P.66 Pembroke c/n 17 which went to the Belgian AF as RM-2/OT-ZAB. All Begian AF Pembrokes carried a fat red cheatline in the end. RM-2 was wfu in July 1974 and was sold to USA in Jan 1978 and my guess is that what we see is during the transfer and before any civil registration has been applied. No Gospel, but just my 2 cents...

Here is the typical nose of a Survey Prince which differs from the one on the Belgian Pembroke I mentioned before. Stig
