I think when they rebuild these sunken aircraft after 50 years at the bottom of the sea floor, they only reuse one part. :)

Have the data plate and you have the airplane and/or engine! Love it! And don't forget to download the TCDS before the restoration :D

Never mind WD40 - "Experts plan to spray the wings and fuselage with water and a combination of citric acid and sodium hydroxide in an attempt to halt corrosion"

Hope they are not too late!

I have been using citrus base degreasers that works great. Not cheap, but, cleans with zero corrosion. Plus, the cleaners are friendly to the environment ( I was assured )! Smell like oranges :)
