Eeh, the're French.

That sums it all up?

No, I spoke to Giuseppe Lombardi of the Stirling Project some time ago and he told me that a team of them visited France to have a look for themselves. It appears that the structure is fairly hacked about on the inside and that restoring it would need more effort than to start from scratch.

They did however photograph it thorougly and took measurements as well as being a perfect reference how it all fits together. So it will have a good influence on the progress of the Stirling reconstruction project. What I understand is that they hope to start making parts for the bomb bay as a basis for the cockpit they are going to build first. When they have finished this they will go from there. Remember the components in store for the RAFM.
