Sorry folks, one has been away.
I have been told by a few in Maun that the Engine once recovered from the bush was left in an open vehicle on the Maun tarmac completely accessable to anyone and everyone that happened by. The engine was not covered nor was it guarded.
All correct, in the rain, by the fire station to be precise. Last heard of in Johannesburg untouched but I am a few weeks out of date on that one. Given the Christmas/New Year break I doubt if there was any progress.
