Have a nice Thanksgiving.

Hi Dan

I don't know how you managed to import ex-Lend-Lease stuff back into the USA from Australia, unless the two governments have recently amended the original wartime Lend-Lease agreement.

There was a local in my area who had a large stock of NOS Lend-Lease Stuart M3 light tank parts including NOS radial engines ( which I saw). The story goes: because of the Lend-Lease agreement , he was not permitted to sell any of it back to the USA . What was left of the stockpile was sold as a big lot locally but the deal went bad and it ended up in the courts with lawyers involved
