Thank you very much for the input. It has been a very interesting path thus far for this Dr1. Yes, perhaps I was being a wee bit idealistic, but it really is a rare thing to have such a collection in one place as the ORA does, and it is a lovely airfield with so many years of positive memories formed, and lives influenced. Hopefully, the machines are cared for as they should be.
This specific one is needing lots of new wood, and the re-construction process has already been started.
As for the previous mention of the criminal element, one can imagine the layers of crossed paths in that sort of environment, and one would be surprised at how close everyone is throughout the layers. There is a level of omnipotence that comes along with the empowerment of connections- especially deeply rooted ones. Thus my exit. That is not a fair environment for a simple gearhead like myself. Nasty monsters like that bring out the Irish in me, and ones with such deep roots usually chew up thorns in the side. For now, this old bird is happy right here in the shop, slowly inching closer to feeling the chill at altitude again.
Cheers~
