Today, having found an article in an old magazine, the mystery seems to be largely solved.

I am amazed how many views that thread has had, must all be meatbox fans from here I figure.

It’s the sort of thing we all dream about, isn’t it? That’s why it’s such a popular thread. Everyone thinks a prime historic airframe has gone, then someone says it hasn’t, then someone finds a piece of it, then someone questions the authenticity of the piece, and then the piece is re-evaluated, and so on.

It’s cracking stuff! Good detective work, Dave.

G’day,

Is the legendary Leslie Hunt wrong?

Often. Not because he wasn’t good, but because he was first, and working in a very new field. The Dr Johnson of vintage aviation.

Cheers!

Interesting all the same, so what’s the verdict Dave, Is she pot’s and pan’s after all.
