Can we assume that the M.A.F. JN's will suffer the same fate as the Jenny's did? After WW1 many Jenny's went for a few hundred bucks, paving the way for the mail service.

It's possible, but any disposal is at least five years away, so they have to survive that long first. ;)

...or after the Phillipino govt. finds someone to blame for buying them in the first place! I like the idea that the Phillipino's would by the Jenny design, they can learn from its minor mistakes and improve on the next design.
