Great idea Mikael,

Let's round up all warbirds and melt them down.

We could blow up all crashsites to prevent the radiation from harming people.

Pheeuw, what a relieve

How about postage stamps collecting and name this board the Postage Stamp Information Exchange or PSIX.

Joking aside,

This is a heavy issue in the UK at the moment of which our British friends know all about I guess. Ian Foster of 57Rescue had to remove his Halifax instrument panel from a show recently for fear of the radiation. This is by the way the same reason the cockpitsection of Halifax PN323 was closed off at the IWM, London. I recently was told that someone who could help me with all fuel gauges for my project couldn't send them because of the radiation threat.

If you look at websites showing instrument panels in Holland, Germany and the USA you can see that they have small yellow/black stickers warning of radiation.

Mikael, did you know you are radio-active as well (as we all are).
