I went over to Canada to have alook at this machine at Wetaskiwin in July this year. She has certainly been run up since being grounded and still appears in good condition. I thought you may like to see one of my photographs of her. The Reynolds Museum (which as well as their storage and restoration facilities I’ve visited several times) does a magnificent job preserving very rare airframes and deserve credit for offering her a home so far. I’ve seen some of the reported reasons explaining why she’s for sale. As I’m not in a position to verify the facts I won’t repeat them here but it is reported on one forum that the museum is being given first refusal.
