Thanks Lars,
I remember thinking, when I saw the original post, that the Swedish air Force museum would want a genuine Swedish Mustang. The second thing that struck me about the post, was it was a definate "Hands off" style :0)
Seem to remember a similar e-mail concerning Messerschmits once upon a time, mind you, they weren't recovered either lol
