Thanks again for your feedback.

I'm no expert in writing rewrite rules etc.
but I'm just wondering why the redirect works
and without the 'R' it doesn't.

Is using a redirect (R=301) a cleaner approach
compared to the rewrite rule without redirect?

Fortunately using the redirect version works
well with the Google Webmaster Tools, so thanks!
