Gary, I think the parts that went to DX for that wonderful machine you posted were from parts stashes as opposed to being from the Moorabbin girl. The museum is rather, um, defensive when anything is suggested about her as she's almost a time machine and, as you know, used to draw the crowds in the days she was run up. Don't quote me on that though as am relying on my memory at 2200 hrs!

To be honest, I'm glad the parts left Australia for such a worthy project. Cannot wait for the day when she flies in that wonderful green.
