Hello all – i’m looking for high ground wreck parts for a museum display. Anything considered, any nationality, any size. I’m happy to pay for parts if it helps.
Many of these parts sit in lofts or garages and are ultimately lost. I’m interested in gathering up as much as I can.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks guys. Ian, i’ll try and ring you later.
The display will be long term. I would be happy to take items on in any of the three categories VX927 mentions, but would prefer to avoid loans as I cannot keen an eye on this stuff 24/7 and there are numerous horror stories about material on loan to museums…

Is this a short terms display or are you looking at something long term? Also, are you looking for parts to be donated, lent or sold?

Now there’s a challenge! What sort of display and where? A lovely idea. Saw this on ebay and wondered where a lot of stuff goes…http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/191433208096?_trksid=p2060778.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
R2800? Lots of P47s dug that way, possibly P61. Was pleased to to see the Carneddau Boston wings hadn’t been lost to history.
