Recent history

Extensive repairs were made in 1949 and again in 1994; the latter repairs being made by Paul Ide and Jan Lewandoski. A new roof was added in 2001. When visited in 2011, recent damage was noted. At least three knee braces were broken out, and all of the rest had damage of some sort ranging from cracks to paint transfer from an apparently over-height vehicle.
