If I remember correctly
, Ansons were grounded in Australia because of glue concerns on the main spar. I was wondering how they were dealing with that. It would seem clear that they are dealing with it by making it a non-flying restoration.

Yes, that was mentioned to me. I was actually shown the spar, which was originally laminated wood, & that together with a glue problem, was the issue. But this aircraft, whilst now having a metal spar, is not going to fly.Quote:
