What a fine piece of machinery.

I'm sure that I've seen worse in Marathon auctions.

The mice and the rubber bands perhaps!!!

The really scary part, Jack, is that somewhere in Ottawa right now, there are probably a bunch of bureaucrats looking at that vehicle as a viable military purchase and are desperately trying to find the builder to award him a huge contract, complete with a fat penalty fee they shall pay him should they decide to cancel down the road!

The standard of government in Canada sounds to be on a par with ours.
They showed no interest in the Victa Airtourer while the company was Australian. Despite the best efforts of the Victa corporation to get the Australian government interested in purchasing the aircraft, it was only after the aircraft production division of the company was sold off to a New Zealand company and everything moved across the Tasman that the decision was made to adopt it as the RAAF basic trainer.

One fiasco among many.
