Hi AB,
Nothin' much I can do - he is free to do what he can get away with.
I will try to find out what happened to the fuz in question. Trouble is - there are no Maggie wings anywhere so you really would need a sense of humour to fund the rebuild.
What it needs is somebody to look after it for future generations.
Shades of 'when Spitfires were fifty quid' it will be viable one day.
Just got back from Hans Kolby Hansens private island (with 425m strip) in Denmark - Peter Bishop turned up in his Messenger G-AJOE from Germany so, together with Hans' Miles Mercury OY-ALW, we had a mini Miles meet in a really exotic location.
Hans spends 2 months of the year on the island and flies the Mercury every day - nice to see such an old rare plane being used!
Great fun. Great trip.

By the way, yours was the 200th post on my thread - well done!
