Thanks for the info…… Anny idea on plane type where these props where used on?

Here we go again….

Of course AA is spot-on at post 13. Planemike, however, his allowing his simplistic example to confound him.
There is no evidence whatever that owners are acting to “…raze it to the ground and build a block of flats’. (If there is, state examples….????) All the evidence is to the contrary…or we’d have no airshows to go to…:p Why would they…? Owners have not only invested money, but often, years of toil…so – it’s an illogical example.
As for the “..without some consultation.” ….. Hasn’t this rubbish been chewed over ad nauseam already recently….? What do you want..? Owners and restorers to apply to you for ‘planning permission’….?????????? :rolleyes: Pulease.
Yes, owners are (Obviously..) custodians, but they are also the ‘doers’. Without their effort there would be nothing to conserve or for others to pontificate upon. These things do not happen in a vacuum, nor do posts on the internet fund them.
Ownership does in fact confer ‘absolute rights’, much as this may not fit into the anoraks view of an ideal world. Don’t confuse ‘interest’ and ‘rights’;-The former is free, the latter one has to pay for. They’re about as similar as vindaloo and congee. :).
I often detect a certain tetchyness, that certain folks feel that they should not only be kept informed, but even ‘consulted’…. – that many projects are kept ‘secret’. It’s something of a Curates Egg of course…:rolleyes: (I wonder why…!).
Frankly, if restorers had to apply to the www audience for approval (As well as the CAA etc.) for every screw and rivet, there’d be no flying and no bandwidth left….:).
To return to the original posters point, as we should. I’m sure the a/c’s in safe hands.
Why presume just because little’s been heard, – that littles been done…? 🙂 “It’s illogical Jim”….:)

I’ve had old instruments like this. I’ve always presumed they’ve just faded with age. As it happens, they’ve all been US made. Perhaps a particular finish other than just paint.

Yaaaaaaawwwnnnn….

The biplane looks like a Stearman. 🙂

Snoopy – so in the case of a Tiger Moth then where you have no data plate -just a log book you couldnt clone it ??
I think its far easier than people think for two people to effectively claim ownership of a machine .

Yes, dead easy, it’s called a Flying Group….:D
