The owner sold his business AFAIK, It didn’t go under. The problem with the parts were that they could only be used for experimental registered aircraft. Even though they were factory standard.
We are lucky to have rescue services who will come out immediately, frequently putting themselves in mortal danger in order to help their fellow man, and we are lucky that they do not charge those they assist (although a donation is always gratefully accepted) but surely the emphasis should be on making sure that these people do not place themselves unnecessarily at risk just to satisfy the desires of ‘eccentrics’ – and that should be the watchword the world over, wouldn’t you agree?
An official air force museum is best on/next to an airfield because it makes it easier to retire large types to the museum. No need to cut them up/transport them. See the NMUSAF.
