: Having just reviewed the current listings under the P38 sa
: ga I thought it best to set a few things straight.
:
: 1) All war relics are the property of the PNG government a
: s dictated by the War Surplus Material Act. This Act empow
: ers the National Museum charges the Museum with the admini
: strative control over the all war surplus material.
:
: The land owners are not the rightfull owners of the materi
: al. When a relic is removed they are merely paid compensat
: ion for their care of the relic.
:
: 2) I have not removed any P38s to Australia. When I do I w
: ill let the world know.
:
: 3) The PNG authorities are currently searching for the per
: sons responsible for the attempted illegal export of the P
: 38 at Arufi. The aircraft has been found. Unfortunately th
: e salvage attempt involved cutting off the wings and remai
: ning attached boom with a gas axe.
