I agree on reflection, I realise what the Manx government are like, (lived there 12 years) he probably gave them every chance but became disgruntled with the response. It is not Peters fault.

But some people who made donations are still alive, I know how I would feel if I was one of them and my donation to the museum was being sold.

Just had a response from David Cretney which mentions a recent meeting between Government and Manx National Heritage representatives and Peter but it doesn't say if anything has been concluded.
