above it a link to the auction of a 680FP, MR RPM.
She has been cut up.
Sorry to see her go. Mason, you do not need to go see these photos.
Viewer discretion is advised. These are very ugly photos.
I hope these parts keep other Twin Commanders flying.

Subject: | N70QT is on ebay |
Breaking up something valuable, such as N70QT, has always triggered my
memory of an incident that occurred in South Africa 20 or so years ago.
N70QT's story is different: the mishap already inflicted the necessary
damage on the plane to make the first strike to break her up easier.
It was a typical summer thunder storm, which poured rain and sizable hail
onto everything in the city. Insurance claims of damaged vehicles and
property poured into insurance companies. Also, a Ferrari V12 Boxer that
suffered extensive body damage. A huge repair bill stared at the insurance
assessor as he looked the car over. Then, his experience tugged at his
instinct. He told the insured that he is not qualified to assess such an
impressive automobile and would like him to bring it into their facilities
to have it properly assessed, Columbo-style, if you know what I mean.
Once the car was in their workshops, the insurance assessors photographed
the entire body of the Ferrari from all angles and a profile shot from the
top. Painstakingly, they connected the dents that the hail punched into the
body skin. Then, they made a startling discovery confirming the assessor's
instinct. There were circular patterns in the dent arrangement on the body.
It turned out that the insured had the Ferrari safely parked inside his
garage at the time of the storm (who wouldn't?) and after the hailstorm had
come and gone, seeing the wide-spread damage it caused, he set out with a
round-headed hammer covered with some soft material, and started beating the
Ferrari so as to have the insurance company pay it off and repair it for
him.
Needless to say, he ended up being stuck with the repair bill and a criminal
charge of fraud plus a whole slew of other charges.
As I said at the beginning of this story, it always bothers me how someone
could inflict the first blow to cause damage to something that's in
perfectly good working order. Once the fraud was underway, it was easy to
strike the next blow and the next and the next. But the first one. That's
the one that gets me.
