Re: Big Collection WWII Aircraft Instrument Panels and Instruments confiscated

How many collectors of WW2 aircraft instruments have died of radiation poisoning in the last 65 years I wonder? None I'm sure!

There's more risk to the collector from being killed by an aircraft panel falling from the top shelf in his garage or God forbid if he cuts his finger on a nasty sharp bit of metal and dies of blood poisoning!

When I think of all the simple things I did as a lad that now are classed as dangerous by the Heath & Safety 'industry' it makes me sad for my children. People need to get a grip with reality and for the future make sure laws that are used to protect us from real nuclear threats are not used to make a criminal out of a collector. But then that's going to be very hard, as someone recently said you cannot legislate for 450 million Europeans without getting it wrong for someone most of the time.
