AFAIK the benchmark for an aircraft to be 'Historic' is se

That sounds about right to me too, but if they just said "this is 85% original" then wouldn?t that give the true picture. Not "its 85% original, so therefore its all original - so therefore we can replace even more of it later on and it will still be all original". Not to me it wouldn`t! You just end up back in the same old semantics arguement.

Dead right! Funny that isn?t it? All I?m suggesting is a little honesty. It?ll never catch on you know.
