Understood, just surprised that they would agree. Tiger Moth G-ACDC has been rebuilt a number of times after accidents, probably the left hub-cap and data plate are the only original components
.
Looking at the post accident pics, the fuselage of the Stearman may have survived undamaged except possibly the rearmost elements; certainly every other component needed replacing and doubtless Ewald had a good stock of wings and other parts to draw on. As I mentioned earlier in the thread, it was astonishing how quickly Lang Kidby's Avro Avian was rebuilt by various British specialists after it's prang here a few years ago, and with no spares resource to access.
