Sorry John,
I made an unwarranted assumption, since Geelong had their
glider on display, and Tighe Patching had already mentioned
the excessive fee for display area, so I thought Geelong may
have got the space as a quid-pro-quo for the tugging.
Sorry for giving the wrong impression.
Cheers, John G.
