| Kiwi,I think I have a good idea where it is,but am not saying any more on the subject,there is a bit more to this than meets the eye,you do not just take an aircraft and export it without anyones knowledge or being seen ?
The Rare Aero address has been used before as a pseudo for vintage aircraft pending their restoration in the UK.
Aircraft collectors are scouring the world for rare relics at the moment,some are considered as fair game by those that seek them out,only last year the U.S.Navy stepped in when a rare aircraft was picked up from the ocean bed,they laid claim to it and took on an expensive court case to get it back for their own museum.
There are still a lot of aircraft stored or derelict in Russia from the WW.2 era,specialist scout-runners seek them out,do a clandestine deal and sell them on for mega amounts of money.
It is not unusual either for rare aircraft to vanish into thin air and then re-appear in some remote area fully rebuilt,secrecy behind the restorations which is usually done in farm type buildings away from prying eyes and airfields is quite common.
