There is. Jabiru powered Europa in a hanger at Turweston, Andy Draper is also at
Turweston.
I was there at the weekend but could not get access to the hangar.
Try Andy, I will also try to get some photos.

2007 landing gear frame. These had thin-wall mounting tubes and were found
to fatigue fracture in service. Ive attach a picture of a typical failure. As
a result of this, Europa issued a mod (Mod 72) that required you to ream out
the top tubes and insert a reinforcing tube. Ive attached that instruction FYI.
