I have read this thread with great interest and can see both sides of the topic, my opinion is if PV or anybody else can come to an agreement with the museum on a contract to purchase RS700, restore the museums Hurricane XII, and put enough money into the Museums account that secures the long term existance of that museum for future generations and all is done above board to Canadian law i see this as a good deal for all parties.
As part of the sale perhaps painting RS700 in a Canadian squadron Bomber Command scheme would be a good idea? To honour all those crews that flew Mossies and those who gave their lives in doing so?
Also to address the question of the great vastness in Canada and the chances of many Canadians being lucky enough to see Bob Jens Mosquito fly let alone RS700, how about a clause in the contract stating RS700 should return to Alberta at some stage to tour the area giving many other Canadians a chance to see this great plane fly over their state again?
