Yep. Basically, this article explains what happened to the Bohemia Association that built the Bohemia B-5. It was dissolved after their main pilot, Polanecký, took their B-5 to Prague and never returned. They then dissolved their association and started new one, above mentioned Západočeský aeroklub. Again under the leadership of Haller they built a new plane, at first with engine of Haller's construction, soon with refurbished Argus of 98 hp/100 k. This machine, seond aircraft built and flied in the newly founded state, was then used for training of the members of the club and for visiting various aviation events. This plane was one of those burned during the mentioned hangar fire. There's also mentioned unnamed almost finished, but without fabric covering one-seater "aircraft of Balík brothers" that burned there - maybe the mysterious Haller H-6 under disguise, because there's not mentioned any other unfinished airplane amongst the lost machines.
