ok then, lets say that the money was availiable, how much would it cost, to have 724 dismantled properly, and roaded to another airfield where she could stretch her legs again, just a guestimate?

This is all part of a plan that is being acted on at the moment, indeed, things should be a little clearer as to her future in the next few weeks or so.

the FAA museum didn’t seem that helpful Steve and Colin went down to enquire and they appeared a bit suspicious that we might be after a freebie

Matt, leave it with me, I’ll get the info you require, if they have it. I have a lot of contacts within the FAAM.

Viewing Dates are: 6th – 10th May 2008 and these are to be arranged with the point of contact.

Please contact Mr J W Dunford: 01980 663653
Mr N McHoul: 01980 663532

PS – That wont stop me going to look at the Drover some time this year…

Did you have any luck with the contact that myself and David threw your way?

My frustration with the owners of the collection boiled over to the point that I have two saw blades with the wording “Lasham Collection” marked on them, they are just waiting for the call.:eek: 😀

Matt, I take it you mean Meteor WF877 not Canberra WF887?

the attitude became increasingly less helpful or even polite, the majority of aircraft were cleared years ago.

So it wasn’t just me then!!! I thought that Steve was particularly unhelpful and disinterested, I had a wedge of cash burning a hole in my pocket and they had what I wanted, still, Richard Hukins was more greatful of my custom.
