It seems to be a bit like the aircraft preservation
people. One of everything but nothing flies. I just hate
that. If something was built to run and can run again with

It would be sad to blow up something valuable like a PDP-1.
It would be much sadder to lose the last Lancaster bomber during
a test flight, especially as someone would have to be in it at the
time (to say nothing about where it might end up a few seconds later);
so I'm tempted to cut the aircraft restorers quite a lot more slack
here :-)
