I fully agree with Mark 12.And it is not only the Americans who had eyes on Swampy,know of a coupla guys here that would have loved to have gotten it if we were a little(well a lot)richer.My brother works at a scrap dealer in Brizzy and once a month a container load of metal comes down from PNG.He has told me of aircraft parts in amongst the scrap as well as shell casings by the drum load.It is a thriving buisiness up there for the villagers and believe me PNG is a “lost world” with very large expanses of it unvisited by man.Not to long ago a wreck that was lost had been found along with the remains of the crew who where all listed MIA.As far as parts being discarded from fliers,hell send them up here so we can get patterns off them to build our plane.Also they can make great static displays in their own right.And the collectors will go ape over any original part these days so sell them off to generate a bit of cash for your project.Well done to the lads to seal the deal and hopefully one day old Swampy will rumble the air in the southern hemisphere…”Please,please,please,please.!!”:)..Is BR545 still in its fishtank??All the action seems to be down at the bottom end of the country,will have to do a trip down there one day and see what the excitement is all about.
