Sorry, I do not agree. I see that you are a volunteer at the Newalk air museum, and very commendable too.
What if all the aircraft in your museum had crashed and been totalled prior to being put in your museum, by an enemy.or fire or something else?.
Would I be correct in saying there would be no use for you at the museum?.

It’s not as if they do not have enough, they have some still in mothballs or so I am led to beleive.So I am sure she would not be missed.
