Thanks for the additional information on these beautiful beasts. I'd love
to hear one, but I can't get to America.

North America, you mean?

They are currently based in British Columbia, Canada.

Couple os things....as I remember the contract for sale of the Mars it
said something about if one was lost the other would become a museum
aircraft in Port Alberni, BC....same if they were retired...Port
Alberni would get one.

The other point....it's Martin Mars not Martians Mars is it not?

Indeed it is Martin. Might sound better if it is like they are from Mars!
