: Hello Cees,
:
: Excellent posting.
Really really outstanding. A database would be a tremendous idea, with everyone able to contribute.
Let me give this some thought, before i repost a fuller reply

: I was thinking about this a wee while ago when all the Kor
: ean findings were being talked about.
:
: Scott's excellent forum has brought to light a lot of poss
: ible recoveries but I have seen little in the way of effor
: t to 'bring um back alive'.
:
: I have a feeling that Tony and a couple of others are up t
: o some recovering but other than them I see little in the
: way of progress.
:
: One possible problem is 'expense' bringing aircraft out of
: the 'arm pits of the world' copst money and most of us on
: this forum are just hobbiest's in this field we do not ha
: ve the money to operate an aircraft, let alone go to the e
: nds of the earth to pull one out of a lake or forest or of
: f the sea bed, it costs money.
:
: I did have an idea that had a connection to the 'our warbi
: rd' group, this was to set up a small partnership to go ou
: t and recover a few warbirds or aircraft of 'worth while'
: few of us have the money to go it alone, but maybe as a gr
: oup we stand a better chance, we know where there are 'fin
: ds' we just need the people and the moeny to start the bal
: l rolling, oh well, I maybe dreaming again.

: Again, great posting Cees!!!
