This is disgusting, owners and volunteers put a vast amount of time and money restoring maintaining #classic #aircraft. I really hope the #aviation #avgeek community comes together and finds the stolen items

Sad to report that via other social media channels we’ve been made aware of the theft of various items from the #Canberra T17 #cockpit that is on loan at the #museum - investigation work now underway! #SadDay
