Well done on finding the pics Joe, I thought I'd seen some around. There doesn't seem to be much worth salvaging, probably just the dataplates, although I was amazed to see the prop still attatched (albeit half buried). I saw the wings from the ex-Rolls Royce mkXIV a while back and they were in much better nick than those in the photo, but there wasn't anything worth salvaging on these either, both spars had collapsed and twisted, all the ribs were nearly flat, in this situation you're better off building new wings (mucho de niro!!).
Tom ;)
