I would return the wreck to the Museum , end the conflict while keeping the parts that belong rightfully to the BB Team . -Mr Smith can go on , re-building new sections to complete a new BB , while the Museum can rebuild the wreck of the BB with their own funds . -in the end , there would be 2 Blue Birds , but most important , the Museum would not have any rights over the BB owned by the BB Team ,

that's correct , only the wreck and nothing more

The Courts will have to clarify the Rights of Mr Smith / BBP insofar as the ownership of the BB , in the end it will be a long and costly legal battle for the Museum , regardless of the final decision .

the Museum owns the scrap metal portion that was restored . the BBP can claim a right of ownership of the Bluebird of at least 51% .
