I think she's a beautiful old war horse. When you say saved from being scrapped, did you save it from your local government or from a private person that was just going to throw it away? I'm just curious how someone could even think of scrapping that. I know these aren't super valuable but still, it looks at a distance fully functional. Not to mention it's history and all its went through. Also, thank you for saving it
