This is bad news, although I was told something of the sort before. As regards
trying to replace what is lost:-
(0) Straker's car:
(a) What is the latest news on the (i) physical, (ii) legal, possibility of
getting hold of it and restoring it?
(b) There was a thread recently about someone making a replica of it. What
came of that?
(1) Foster's car: similarly ditto?
(2) Models of Mobiles, Interceptors, UFO's, etc; many modelmakers seem to have
done this job already, both physically and as computer mesh files.
(3) What chance of someone with good access to a workshop making a prop alien
spacesuit and helmet and rifle? Preferably with (prop) life-support backpack.
Perhaps the backpack could contain a real oxygen or air cylinder to help to
ventilate the helmet. Someone going to a UFO or Anderson fan meeting in it
would be a real right wow. And it would get good use in any revised version of
the fan fiction video "UFO-1999".
(4) Ditto a SHADO astronaut spacesuit, although that would likely be more
complicated.
(5 etseq) Etc, etc, etc, whatever is sensible and practicable.

PS. What is the latest news on chances of letting us buy the fan fiction video
"UFO-1999"?
