Alas, the family didn't want to continue Jaques's work, with the added problem that the collection was located on the family ranch up in the hills of Portola Valley, so access was a bit of an awkward drive up private roads, etc. <br /><br />As for convincing local authorities here in Silicon Valley to do much of anything that involves preserving historical artifacts rather than expanding tech company interests, alas, the fate of this collection is just the latest installment of that ongoing tragic saga.... :(BlackWidowPilothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09412207015693040956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4948448485994473978.post-65435351200490274702015-06-11T18:39:58.543-07:002015-06-11T18:39:58.543-07:00Glad you enjoyed it!

Such a shame the collection is being broken up! Would have been good for local authorities to buy the whole lot as a museum themselves but maybe I'm naive :) Looking forward to more updates!Ragstahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17562873970177545295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4948448485994473978.post-3765966213060184412015-06-05T21:09:09.529-07:002015-06-05T21:09:09.529-07:00Great tour and you ended it with my favorite tank,...Great tour and you ended it with my favorite tank, the M103!
