Text removed from article[edit]

I've removed the following from the article. The aircraft was based at Meaux-Esbly airfield, to the west of Paris, for several years and was then sold to a pilot owner in the United Kingdom.

The aircraft had a forced landing in a cornfield due to fuel management issues in about 1983. The aircraft was damaged in the accident and flipped over onto its back, significantly damaging the RH wing, and doing minor damage to the LH wing, fuselage, cowl, and tail section.

The aircraft was put into storage for years and was subsequently sold to a gentleman in the US (Idaho) who imported the remains for rebuild and restoration. After some work was done on it, it was sold to a gentleman in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, where it is currently being restored.

See restoration/build log: https://eaabuilderslog.org/?s=jseaborn

There are multiple problems with this, it's unreferenced (see WP:REFB), it isn't written in a encyclopedic style, it contains a URL in article text, and doesn't appear to be WP:DUE. It shouldn't be restored to the article unless these issues are corrected. -- LCU ActivelyDisinterested ∆transmissions∆ °co-ords° 19:47, 29 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
