I think Aurigny are slowly retiring the fleet and breaking them for parts to keep the remaining ones flying.

So you’re saying that the IWM lied when they stated categorically that they disposed of it because it was a French-built one with the wrong undercarriage?

Are the wing sections from a Hastings or Halifax? How much original Halifax material do they have?

I fear you have got the wrong end of the stick there Meddle. It never was intended as a ‘museum’ in itself as such, but an outstation of the Science Museum for large object storage. It was opened up for public viewing on a couple of weekends each year, in the same way that the Cobham Hall at Yeovilton and MBCC at Cosford are. It should not, therefore, be judged by the same curatorial standards as major collections open all year round.

A management failure that there was no ‘Plan B’

An aircraft doesn’t receive a PDA, the crew does.

No, the one the Sanders had at Ione is now owned by Jim Slattery and is still under restoration elsewhere I believe
