Agree TwinNDB . I know a fellow who is an expert at restoring WW2 wrecks. Mainly Japanese tanks and rifles. His work is nothing short of excellent. Aircraft are a different matter it seems. It's perhaps another topic, and I don't wish to twist this thread, but I've seen so much damage done by folk seeking bit's and pieces from places that if left alone, would allow tourists to view some fascinating history. I refer here to Bunkers, Pillboxes, graves etc... Had the privilage once of flying some former WW2 Marines around a rather nasty war site during it's 50th anniversary. They told me later that some of the graves had been moved to accommodate new buildings. Maybe I'm showing my age, but personally some things should be simply left alone.
