Default classics in ireland

The is the only B-239 in the world is reputedly
at Dublin airport (this excludes the HUMU, a 239 fuselage mated to wooden
wings that is on display in Finland). It may be under wraps however. It
was recovered remarkedly intact by a for-profit recovery group under
questionable circumstances and is now supposedly languishing in Ireland,
partially disassembled, possibly deteriorating more than it ever did under
water, being offered for sale for an exorbitant amount (unless a rich
Brewster Buff fan can be found for which price would be no object--that
would be me except for the rich part). It is thought that it might be in a
building owned by VAP at the Dublin airport.
Pictures of this aircraft in its current condition or a description of what
remains of this aircraft would be extremely welcome by Brewster Buff fans.
