I understand from the group in Windsor, Ontario, Canada who were maintaining and repairing the aircraft that this is "political" situation between another group and the City itself. Unfortunately, the dedicated group members finally had enough and decided not to continue with the maintenance in what they see as a hopeless scenario. I guess part of the plane will have to fall off (starboard wing tip) before the City realizes that removing her and conducting a proper static restoration is the only way to ensure it remains for us to enjoy for another 60+ years.

Regarding KB882 - I will be attending and speaking at an upcoming CAHS meeting to discuss preservation/restoration options for this Lanc.
