Believe me Cees it does try to eat me from time to time ;) The original airframe doesn't look too bad from what we can see, the topside of the fuselage is the worst where water has been dripping on it but the underside is very well preserved as it looks to have a fair amount of engine oil covering it which I imagine is due to the forced landing it suffered after the Sabre quit on it's last flight. Even so it will all have to come apart and have the rivets replaced, we'll be building a jig in the near future.
