Is that the only Prince still in existence then?
If it is then, yes it must be saved surely. It seems like our post war civil types do get pushed aside abit.
Do any of the Mergansers or Presidents survive?
Sure is.
So that then leads onto me saying does anyone want it as time is about to run out on it as a complete airframe! Where it sits now is slap bang in the middle of some building works that start next week. The museum had start on getting her down to a size they could accomodate and cut the tail off (see very poor picture – cameraphone I am afraid!) before I manged to intervene last weekend. Whlist unfortunate about the tail it is repairable and actually makes transport easier!
Having negotiated a sensible price for her everything was lined up to dismantle it tomorrow and move her to Speke but have fallen short in as much it cant go there now. So if anyone has a burning desire to acquire it or knows someone that does then please PM me asap.
If it doesn’t go tomorrow then I believe a wing is to be chopped as well so she can be dragged into the space in the museum. 🙁 I have considered buying it myself by frankly its a bit too much to take on on your own. I have sorted accomodation elsewhere for the time being with another museum so just needs the backing of a group or someone now.
fingers crossed 🙂
