At 39 years old, and in New Caledonia, would it be worth the cost and trouble to recover and repair it ??

1. Jack up
2. Lower wheels
3. Fly away

Same Gomad was gutzed at, I think Leongatha, round about mid 90s by the late TM. He was endorsing a new driver. They both were distracted and forgot. I have photos of its return to the MR hangar at MB.
