I hope that you're right, but if it is not somehow officially associated with
TLG, then where did that canopy come from? Also, I'm puzzled about something .

between the webbing where it shouldn't be? Is this just a flaw in the digital
image, or is it possible that the photo has been modified? Please tell me that
this photo is only a fiendish trick.
