Rob Clarke's latest treasure....

[RHClarke]

Sitrep as of 1000 hrs local (Ottawa) time:

Orange C15a - formerly owned by one Geoff W-B, is now owned by myself.

Gun Tractor - formerly owned by one Bruce Parker, is now part of the S&P Museum collection (includling the parts listed by Bruce) - Bruce can elaborate if he wishes.

Ownership wise - all is tiddly, squared away and strack.

Personality wise - some work is needed here - I trust that everyone involved in the ownership issue can rise above their conflicts and get back to furthering the aim of this hobby...

Procurement wise - lessons learned:

1. Caveat emptor;
2. A deal that is too good to be true - usually is just that; and
3. Keep track of who owns what and seek out the owner - like the Colonel said, finding the owner has its benefits (Geoff, my hat is off to you - Thanks).

I am very happy that all parties involved (owners and buyers) did the gentlemanly thing and concluded these transactions in a mature and responsible manner - as it should have been done in the beginning.
