Thanks Jim,
Lets just say that was how it was reported, and my recollection was from 20 odd years ago, possibly from the pages of Warbirds Worldwide.
I’m a bit more cynical when it comes to provenance; there have been very few ‘new’ discoveries in the UK and the USA in many years. Someone usually knows! That said, there is a tipping point when a collection of original parts can become an airframe, and I have no issue with that!!
