I'd take it, but think it might not fit through the door of the garden shed. :):):)

Not for nothing -you have to prove that you have the funds to fully restore it ,that why they are giving it away - due to the high cost of restoration to M O D

easy start isn't going to do it for that baby, she be rotten, and I am sure get scrapped, with the tail becoming the new gate guard, and the cockpit sold and sawn off.

This is a problem for all gate guards, they rot unseen from the inside out. Which was why the RAF purchased fiberglass Spitfires & Hurricanes a number of years ago and sold off the originals.
