Hi Ron The carrier that you were not supposed to see is in immaculate shape! If we would only have had the foresight and finances to preserve some more of these items back then but for the most part it was considered junk. I helped my father restore a Hawker Hurricane to flying condition over the past 35 years. It had been purchased for ONLY $50.00CAN after the war by a farmer who wanted the engine coolant. Dad sold the aircraft 2 years ago & was able to retire after flying his dream! Its just amazing how valuable these antiques have become. Cheers Jan Whereatt
