Hermes crash in the Sahara

Well upon watching the programme it seems as if it's another matter of too little too late. It looks like some entreprenurial Arab cut the hulk up a couple of years ago and in doing so nigh on destroyed the rest of the airframe so the example being worked on over here won't be getting a great amount of material for their rebuild :-( just goes to show again that the wrecks which were out and about in this remote and inhospitable land aren't likely to remain there for much longer, just look at what happened to the Blenheim in the western Desert we saw pics of a while back, it was a complete airframe until very recently, I'm just amazed that so much of The Lady Be Good has survived all this time.
