In reply top I may be wrong, but I think he's talking about dataplates... posted by Lynn on Wed Apr 17, 2002 08:03:50 AM

Seems strange to me when enthusiasts moan about the fact that an aircraft was (re?)built from a few original parts and a dataplate.

Whats the bottom line in this situation? Three Buffalos or no Buffalos. Do you never want to see one fly?

But they do it to increase the value??
Come on; everyone knows these things were supposed to be extinct, especially anyone looking to actually buy one.
Being a widely known "dataplate" rebuild doesn`t seem to have hurt the value of David Prices 109 and he has been honest about its history.

Give them a break, I say, at least they aren`t asking 4mil!!

Cheers,

James
