If the Indian Hurri is restored before we send ours abroad then the public will not lose out, it will gain a better airframe, a more modern restoration, far better history and the world gains another airframe.
If that is the case, it sounds like a cracking deal. Given that a reliable source in the warbird world has let on to me what else is on offer, the sooner the IAF gets hold of the MkII, the better. To precis, there may be "some" Lancaster and Mozzie parts on offer as well allegedly.
