Mick,
The two reasonably complete Vultures which I have seen in two different museums around our country have been excavated from crashsites of course and there is no chance they will be restored without destroying their historical value (in relation to the history of the individual aircraft they were fitted to). Apart from that I don't think they will ever let them go!!!
In my opinion the Manchester in the IJsselmeer I mentioned could possibly have one or two reasonbly complete examples depending how the aircraft made contact with the surface of the lake. Time will tell, if only we have the time to start this investigation. I live near Amsterdam and the crashsite is in the northeastern part on the other side of the lake (do you know how big this is).
