Good point Tom

Myself and your boss , had a conversation a long time ago in the Chalet, about Eastern Bloc aircraft restoration. At that time, he showed me a picture of a Mig 1 I think that went to Jersey? It had just come out of a lake.

The prices I was being quoted by PZL were laughable,and they had their own Prop shop too.There was a lot of profit to be had. Ironically, 3 months afterwards, Sir John Harvey Jones was at the plant, interviewing the guy i was working with. Sir JHJ suggested automation, at $5,000,000. They said why? when extremely skilled aircraft bods worked for $60.00 a week. I am not going to go back into what happened, but to the American twat, who ruined it all, by getting out a suitcase of money to "Moscow businessmen" I shall only say this..... You will always remain a tosser.

PZL, knew of the location of CRATED WW2 aircraft, and wanted to rebuild them as flyers, and sell them off the ramp at Warsaw as flyers.I had potential buyers, and Tony got excited about Argus engines, though god knows why.

I can and will, at some point, god willing, do this deal again, but only after it all calms down in karelia
