Hi Alan,
Since the dent, as shown in your photo, could just have resulted from a
movement of the leg socket, I personally would want to very carefully
inspect the leg socket securing structure.
My suggestion is that you need to get a Europa experienced inspector to
check it out for you. I believe David Lloyd at Shobdon used to look after
your aircraft so in the first instance I would talk to him.
Pete

Hello Peter.
Sorry for taking so long, lost the camera/computer cable, but here are the
pictures.
The hollow is about 4" in front of the main gear leg, No cracks or surface
damage in the hollow. And no damage in the area all looks symmetrical.
The trouble is i can,t remember if it was there before.!!
I did have a bird strike, a Crow came up from underneath on that side, i
heard a thud and thought it have been swept round and hit the tail plane on
the other side,? i did not look under the aircraft at the time.
But just can,t remember if the hollow was there when i first gave the
aircraft a polish.
Hope the photo,s are good enough.The sealant looks a mess in the photo but
its all intact. My finger will give you some scale of size.
Alan
