Hi Pete,

If I remember correctly the farmer was Clive Harvey. He had the airstrip at Andrewsfield where Stan later set up the Rebel Air Museum. I wonder if the engine ever got into the museum itself or only just as far as the farmer’s part of the facility?
Yes, the second engine was ‘almost’ recovered by the East Easex Aviation Museum several years later, but it grounded on a sandbank during the process and before they could complete the operation someone else did it for them – straight to a scrap yard.

Yes, I remember about that recovery now you mention it.

I can confirm that the Andrewsfield engine never made it into the museum. I wonder if it still at Andrewsfield?
