Thanks Peter,

That would be great.

I remember that story about PP972. IIRC they said that the skin was paper thin in places and beyond saving. Difficult to restore then but a breeze nowadays. I also saw a photo taken of her in the scrapyard when found by Jean Frelaut in the early seventies I think and next to it was a rare twinengined Bloch bomber from WWII, but that one didn't survive unfortunately.

Speaking of Seafires, Peter what happend to the Aeronavale's Seafires during their service in Indo-China in the fifties? Any chances that remains can still be found there?
