What on earth is wrong with people that do this?? A similiar incident happened overe here in canada.. Whats that junk...? throw it in the dumpster.Fortunately a friend of mine happened to be at the museum that day and was apalled at the site of instruments, panels and such in the dumpster. He asked if he could take some merlin carbs that were in there and they said yes!! i mean why the h*** would anyone throw out perfectly useable spares in order to make room?
This has got to stop..! If anyone has parts that they think are junk give them to a group or museum as free trade items or donations. Many a time in the 10 yrs I have worked on our Lanc project has someone came in with a box of what looks like old bits and pieces and would look like trash to any housewife(toungein cheek) and upon inspection, you find parts that you have been after and have searched the globe for and have not had any look. Even a large jar or box of misc wire bundle connector fittings are a boon. None of this should be thrown away unless it is so damaged as to be of no use to anyone eg fire damage corrosion etc..
