Hi Ian & Matt,
I appreciate you feeling strongly about the removal of such relics, but have to say that left in its present state open to the elements, much of the wreckage is deteriorating fast and soon there will be nothing left to view but crumbling dust from alloy panels & rusted spars, I do understand your feelings,and take your point about items being sold for scrap which I totally disagree with. however, items recovered with good intentions for museums are in my opinion justified, take the example Halifax `Friday the 13th` at Elvington, and the `Albacore` in the Fleet Air Arm Museum at Yeovil, without the parts recovered from wrecks then these fine examples would not today exist for future generations.
In the case of the Stirling, This project has been ongoing for 20 + years and if you care to visit the website on the link below you will see that they are making good use of the parts recovered, and as you well know, no Storling exists anywhere in the world today, So I believe their cause is a worthy one.
My website, My forum, so I just thought I would air my views on the subject, in that I do agree with some recoveries, though not with those without just cause.
Regards.
Dave.
