And I can bet it will be another case of vandalism, where, like in the decommissioning of the Leopard Tanks, the power packs will be removed and the hulls filled with concrete so they "sit right".
When are we as a nation going to understand that (at least some) vehicles, water-craft, aircraft and even weapons need to be historically represented as fully functioning examples of their manufacture? Planes that fly, ships that sail, tanks that drive and weapons that can still fire.
Most of the Army museums around the country only have operational pieces because of the time, effort and money donated by their volunteers and retired corps members, not because of the pittance provided by Defence for the maintenance of the AHU.
