Yesterday morning, two 40 foot containers were taken from Mercer. They were old and rusty. They were by the breeze boats factory next to the railway line.
They were full of old aircraft parts, engines and fuselages, so E are taking about fairly unique and irreplaceable gear which is fairly useless to anyone as no one in the vintage aircraft industry would buy the stuff not knowing it's history it is essentially scrap to most people, but gold to a very sent few who by now will know this stuff is stolen.
Obviously two swing lifters were required to do this, and theses are not things your average opportunistic thief has lying around, so they belong to a transport company of some sort.
It would be a crying shame to have this great sold as scrap or dumped.
you can't fix an idiot with duct tape, but it does muffle them for a while...
