What sort of condition will they keep the aircraft in? Will they strip the aircraft of its avionics? Surely this museum wouldn't have the resources to keep all the systems airworthy? (even with volunteer workers). Some of the parts for these aircraft cost hundred$ of thou$ands.
NSEU, HARS have the funds recently donated to build a hangar for OJA as it is essential to protect it from the damp salt laden air experienced in Wollongong. It is to be a static display in the condition/configuration that it arrived so all the parts that are on it will remain in-situ and no ongoing parts required.
