    Good companies of all sorts get sold and change hands. Quality becomes available again later if temporarily unavailable due to corporate takeovers.

    If you want one and have the money, you can buy a replica full size fully working WWII Spitfire nowadays.
    But it is made in Germany!

    Its one thing buying it, its another thing being allowed to keep it.
    Correct me if im wrong on the details(plane & price), but wasn't there an irish man who bought an L-29 trainer jet, but was told by the irish goverment it had to be taken apart after 911. It was the fastest jet in the country and the yanks were affraid it would be stolen and used against them, so they made/asked irish goverment to take it apart. I think it makes an nice static model now some place. ..think the jet was around the 100k mark.

    That is an expensive ornament!

    Imagine actually getting something 20 times better than a Ferrari, and then being told you can't use it!
