Collectors consider these warbirds although they aren't in the traditional sense. These are cool little planes and a rare find. The original US owner/collector is probably dead. Wonder why they just sit there, corroding?

I actually ran across a website that says they're for sale (I have no idea how old it is and there isn't a date I could find anywhere on the site). They were moved from when Abandoned Apertures went, because he PM'd me some pics and it's definitely a different location
Also, there was no plane with a tiger on it when I went. They were along the edge of some kind of vacant lot on a dead end street. It seemed miraculous that no one had vandalized them or stolen things out of them given the ease of access, no one even bothered me and my friend while we were walking around them, opening doors and compartments. The remoteness of the location is probably their saving grace. Not likely that random people would happen upon them out there.
