Re: legal question: ownership of a component from a WWII RAF aircraft
A number of the current (and future) warbirds are "rebuilds" from wrecks, sometimes including only a very small proportion of the original. It seems clear that the RAF/Air Ministry/Ministry of Defence do not retain property rights over such finds, or at least are willing to waive such rights. I don't recall any such concerns being mentioned in the rebuild stories I've read.
This would not override the French law, or indeed any other national arrangements.
