Well I like it - but I would of course.

Its good to see the pic of the boys next to it during the war and the 'old' wreckage pic was taken about 3 weeks (from memory of the file)
after the crash. There's about 6 pics taken by the court of inquiry. I would have liked to see a pic of the recovered engine but that is with a private
collector now. The pedals, torque tube and other non structural parts are being used again after being inspected and passed.

Of course the BW and dark pic doesn't do it justice however the crushed tail section does give some perspective on what I spoke about previously.

If I was alloed to I would buy it!
