Cees,
I?m not qualified to to even speculate what wealthy people might want to do with their money. I think that it will be more difficult to convince someone of the good cause for sponsorship in the future. It will probably take some genuine warbird interest to prompt these investments or heavy expenses, whichever way they are regarded.

In one of his posts Peter pointed out that if the value of the warbirds actually equalled the expenses for rebuild, then that would be a motivator for investors.

If I?m not totally wrong, Sea Furies sell at $500,000 or below. Should you find a project somewhere and haul it to a rebuilder you?d be looking at over $1M.
In the light of that it doesn?t surprise me that there?s no hurry with the Tempests!?

I know one thing for sure though, in the sixties, had I known what I know today and had my weekly allowance been slightly higher, then I wouldn?t have collected plastic scale models!
