An excellent result! well done all round!!
(and btw my starting of this thread was purely coincidental, I had no idea it was so close to happening!!!!)

Regarding that, Mr Abel said since he took office he had worked closely with the board to clean up the system and ensure that the sale of the Swamp Ghost set the pace and precedence for any future sale of war relics.
“In the past, things were done illegally, even before Swamp Ghost, a lot of war relics were sold out, but we have changed that and will ensure that any requests for the purchase of war relics must be channeled through the minister and the board,” Mr Abel said.
He also confirmed that plans have already been put in place and the new war museum will be erected.
“It will be a complete modern history building with artists centre, barbeque facilities and children’s playground, and there will be an exact replica of the Swamp Ghost,” he said.
So if this is correct the results seem to be:
1. Swamp Ghost is saved and restored, from a future long death in the swamp,
2. Future recoveries will have a process and framework and be a possibility?
3. There "will" be a local war museum, although its difficult to tell if that is a National Museum in Port Morseby or a local museum in the Swamp area?
4. There will be a "replica" of the Swamp Ghost??
Hopefully with #3 this is a substatial museum in Morseby able to display other relics, and display of aircraft recovered/restored, even if returned to PNG on a take 3 return one basis?
Hopefully with #4, that this sees the Black Cat Pass B-17 recovered, restored and displayed undercover in a substantial museum rather than simply delivery of a Tallichet fibreglass FSM, and not one left in the open in a small museum at the swamp?, or worse a poor and rough approximation of a B-17.
fingers crossed
