Hi,
I agree that these airframes are the property of the Iraqi people and should be treated as such.

I would also imagine that at this time, the average Iraqi is more concerned about water, food, homes and electricity, rather than the survival of a few airframes that only a small percentage of the Western world are interested in

Being members of WIX and therefore part of that small percentage, I also can understand the point of view that maybe there is some truth about the possibility of these 'frames being destroyed and that maybe, some feel the need to do 'something' sooner, rather than later...

But it is a very thin line that we are walking. What we will consider to be an act of conservation of our aviation heritage, others may consider to be simple theft.

There is no easy answer but which side of the line do we walk?

Just my tuppence worth,

Tony
