Exactly right Rob.... double engines = equals double trouble ! A friend of mine restoring a Ju 88A said he could never hope to get her flyable , even with a good wreck , structurally it would take several hundred K to get her sound enough to fly ... and then there are the engines ;0
The Norwegians have no intention to make any of their wrecks flyable .... all funds are used to recover and restore to static ... and they must beg for those !
