by: kurtis 70 percent of this rebuild is original parts 2017-09-01 19:18:07

in one of the videos (martin interviewed) it is indicated that 70% of this aircraft is original parts -- incredible -- and, RR232 claim is valid as most of the aircraft frame was purchased for 70,000 pounds (in parts) but fuselage in video quite clearly shows rr232 on the truck ride back to the plant / filton shop.
