I would think that Ewald is doing quite nicely out of it as it is.
His company, which specialises in the acquisition, rebuilding, restoration and on-selling of Stearmans, was previously little-known outside of the vintage aviation fraternity.
I would venture to say that, as a result of publicity flow-on from all this, his order book, deposit book and profile would be looking quite healthy, thank you.
He went into this with his eyes wide open, don't you worry.
The only mugs that are going to end up looking a bit silly out of all this are the LAA, HCAP and RAeS.
Better gather round the fire, boys.
Would sir care for a port?
