From a headline in the Dom yesterday. Apparently there is a bar in Christchurch with a fairly exotic door guard.
Anyone know any details? The story was very brief.

The jet is there as part of a commercial promotion. Two men, who police say may be English or Irish and were described as "very happy", were seen removing and leaving with the canopy. Its owner, Christchurch property developer David Henderson, says he does not know how much the rare canopy is worth. He says his staff are keeping a close eye on online trading sites to see if it turns up. Copyright © 2007 Radio New Zealand

There were a few migs around, a chap in Auckland brought two Mig 21's in, one as a ststic that was meant to raise money for him to restore and fly the other.
There was a Mig 15 or two at Wanaka too. I wonder where the Ardmore one has gone, scrap dealer?
