I have just received an E Mail from a Chelmsford MA collector who wished to contact a Danish friend of mine. He had read an article in the English Stationary engine magazine that I wrote in 1999 about Jens restoring an early MAN Diesel engine. Jens died shortly afterwards. When I asked how he had found how to contact me as I had changed my address, he said he was at a show near Massachusetts & asked if anyone had my E Mail. He said someone gave him my correct address. As I have never been anywhere near the USA this must rate me as Infamous. 8^)
Taking the subject seriously Look at the following posts.

It seems that some (so called) friends of Jens who were part of the management committee arranged for a fleet of large vehicles with lifting equipment to go to the museum that Jens had spent a large portion of his life starting up. They smashed the door & removed the majority of the exhibits, most of which no-one knows where they are. The MAN diesel is still there as it was too large to stea (Pardon me I mistyped the previous 4 characters) remove. The reproduction engine room had been destroyed. I am not in the country but as Jens was one of my best friends I am totally devastated at what has happened. I cannot pass on what I have heard as to names Etc as legal proceedings may follow. I hope I never have to post anything like this again. Dave Croft Warrington England
