Yes it was offered to Hendon to try and ensure that Black 6 continued to fly. Thought Carganico's Bf109 (1942) with the Hamden from Russia (1942) would have been a nice setting.
They were ademant they wanted Black 6 ground and in there museum.
Also seen photos of the aircraft recovered in the early 1980's which I have seen.
Trying to get the Canadian museum to paint on the 50 victory markings though not all the dates are known. (The original rudder had been cut off during or after WWII along with the Micky mouse and four leaf clover. Would love to find those!
Trying to get copies of the recovery photos and would do an article update.
