Ryan STA

since you guys have shifted this to the STA to a degree, is there anyone in the UK currently flying, restoring, or building a new STA?
The STA, is I think one of the prettiest aircraft ever, such a great example of 30`s art deco metalwork.
There is a set of plans available, drawn by a fellow named Ev Cassagneres, and at least 1 replica has been built, in North Carolina, by a fellow named Glenn Moore, and it is a fantastic reproduction! ( wish I could actually figure out how to post a picture)
but I am wondering just what interest there is amongst UK antique enthusiasts?
as mentioned the aircraft does have some good European connection, in particular the Dutch, and would be spectacular on floats.
anyway, if anyone else is interested in them by all means let me know, I have just aquired a substantial amount of an STA.
now if I could find floats!
