My entire Supercub was turned into a magnet!

Thats right, in a container, crossing the Atlantic Ocean on a freighter to the UK, and vibrating gently as it spent five or six days ON THE SAME COURSE,
the entire airframe was magnetised. Had to remove the instruments entirely, found a place in mid panel where the compass worked OK Any degaussing of the entire airframe would have been prohibitively expensive.
