Still looking for the article concerning Wrks#1140 that was in the US then Cdn the sold to a buyer in the UK. Anyone have any clues what magazine that was in and how to find a copy?????

Nothing new concerning the ME262 front at Downsview Park. Its still there, they know where it is, just need permission for the search. Watch for posts on WIX and the TAM's web site.
