A novel definition of bonanza. I'd describe them more as the booby prize myself. :lol:

Oh I dunno. All of the complete planes should be restorable, and there is probably a few hundred pounds profit for anyone willing to take on the task. I'm considering running some classes in a year or two when the house is done and wedding out of the way, and so will need a few spare planes, and if this haul were closer I'd have bought it (if the price stayed sensible). It's amazing how good a plane can be despite starting in the state those are in.
