    I agree,broadcasted a radio signal 15 sec out of every minute..And yes they go for a long time…Will have to wind one up and see how long it goes for.

    Yes a lot of stuff has been bought in as scrap.But a sh!tload has been saved by far thinking individuals like Langdon Badger and many other Aussies.Thing is there is still stuff being brought into the country for the express use of being used in restorations.Thing is the scrapping is done from the PNG side.No one here AFAIK is going to PNG looking for scrappable material.This stuff is found by the local villagers,bought by the scrappy over there and shipped here.By the time we hear anything of it it is too late.After all the guys involved with recovery of Swampy did for the PNG people and for their government to pull a fasty makes you cringe with disgust.

    Will it be home for Christmas?

    Realy it should be asked..”Will it be at legends”…As far as I understand it.Swamp Ghost will “go back” to PNG after it has been restored.Same as another warbird which is languishing in a quiet corner in a hangar at Amberly collecting dust ..waiting till the PNG officials get off their fat heinies and build a proper museum for it.Where do they get off ..They say it crashes there, it is theirs now.Fer christs sake do something about recovering the wrecks and protect them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!If they don,t ,then why stop someone else from doing the right thing by them,restore them,give them back to you for future generations to enjoy and get the tourists to pay to see them.Talk about being blind to the future…..”shakes head,kicking loose stones,muttering to the stupidity of it all”………

    Dunno if our project could be classified as a restoration(more like 95% new build,5% restoration) but we would be more than happy to contribute.Sounds like a great idea to me..Good luck with it…And hope to see it up soon.

    Sometimes it is the same part,just with four extra holes in it.It,s a real b@ast@rd trying to backdate parts sometimes…

    Can see that the part number for the top spar on the wing is 39008-sheet 62 for the MkXIX.Wing bolts are still 300 numbers and I think frame 5 is 39027 sheet 14.Sorry to butt in but I had a MkXIX manual handy.
