I agree as well, but people being who they are and human nature being what it is if you leave something laying around unsecured, even something historic, and it looks like nobody cares, there are those who are going to help themselves to whatever they can. And that will always be the case.

@monkeydoespride Quite true. One of the reasons the Colloseum in Rome looks the way it does is because after the Roman Empire fell the locals left in the area stole pieces of it for building materials. It's said many of the churches in Rome have stone blocks from the Colloseum in their foundations.

Hey, if you have a YouTube channel or know someone who does get some video of your finished Panther project out there as soon as you're done! I'm sure everyone would love to see it and express congratulations!

@tomstamford6837 I neither approve or condemn the recycling of the Colosseum's stonework, I was just recognizing the fact. If I was around back then and needed construction materials and no-one cared where I got them I probably would have done the same.

A lot of American ex-fighter pilots bought surplus fighters after the war "Just to keep their hand in" but then gave them up with a shock when they found out just how much it cost to operate one. It wasn't quite the same as when Uncle Sam was picking up the tab!

@1967davethewave And how! Some stayed in private hands but strictly as "Rich kids toys," for lack of a better term.
