Hey Mark,
Lets just ease up on the jabbing in the eyes of the aviation press. As I recall, only one UK magazine made the error of reporting that the Schellville Buffalo consignment was Hendon-bound. The package was most definitely offered to the RAF Museum but was not taken up.
Most av-mag editors go to extraordinary lengths to get the facts right, which is not always easy when it is such a time-critical activity.
Cheers,
