Subject: Re: [Aus-soaring] Gliders in WA museum Don, If the Bull Creek Museum and Channel 7 wish to part with the Gull there is no doubt the best place for it is with the Aust Gliding Museum. The team would be more than happy to organise its collection and subseqent restoration. It was hoped the GB would have come to the Museum as well and maybe this could be arranged in the future. The A.G. Museum is going from strength to strength and the work they are doing is absolutely fantastic. My only concern is the restorations aren't faithful, THE GLIDERS ARE BETTER THAN NEW. If you want any contact numbers please let me know. Trust all is well over there. Alan is off to the IVSM in the US in Aug. He is keeping well and at least he isn't driving accross the US this time.
