Think you'll find most of the GI Jags have major frame cracks which is why they're GI in the first place.They would require Frame replacement to make them airworty and it's simply too expensive. Bit like the major structural repairs required to keep the SHAR going which is why it was binned and the savings put into upgrading the younger GR7.
