Beautiful airplane. I've always wondered how that aircraft would have compared to the P-40 if they had simply continued updating the radial in lieu of replacing it with an inline...

Anyone know how much airframe commonality there is with the P-40?

Is this the Hawk 75 that was in the UK? Or is it a different one? I don't want to blow anyone's cover and I won't mention names, but there was a pretty reqular wix member that I heard has several P-36 and early P-40 restorations going and have been VERY secret. Curious if its one of these?

Out of bleedin' nowhere... WOW.

Literally, just WOW. That thing is shockingly beautiful.

Maybe they will get a formation photo of the Seversky P-35(AT-12), Curtiss P-36, P-38, Bell P-39, and Curtiss P-40 together.

It has to be another fine product of Matt Nightingale's shop. Several really nice air-to-air images of this new P-36 restoration here: https://www.facebook.com/MomentsCapture

What a nice surprise!

Thank you Andrew & Christopher, with all due respect to the owners privacy, I 'm not a big fan of " I know something you don't .." Save that for kid 's birthday parties, just my 2 pennies. Back to airplanes, As I type this, I Just got my Air Classics ! I Think one of their best so far ! A great article about GossHawk with lots of Butcher Birds OOPS! I mean 190s, pic.s etc, also a growing private collection of Heavys in Buckeye Arz. A-26,B-25,Pby, C-119,Trader, Albatross, DC-3 etc.But wait!.. Also P-51 "Bunny", AND PICTURES & UPDATE on Rod Lewis' A-20 !! :shock:

, B-25 "Georgie's Gal" , and for us WWI nuts, a Great story & pics of Javier Arango's Snipe & Tabloid ( via Chuck Wentworth). A really great read ! Now let's begin the p***ing contest as to who knew of the P-36 First ! :roll:

How about camo? no? ...

and is this P-40 still in the States? or in the UK now? All three would look great together.

Great Camo pic ! Mark, the "Shiny" P-40 has been with The Fighter Collection, and flew with their Hawk & P-40F, in the last/ past Flying Legends Air Show , which I'm sure they'll do again this year, (with this P-36 included ?) Enjoy the show !

If those in-flight pics with the Seversky don't "put the lead in your pencil", you must have some sort of serious dysfunction. Those are just utterly stunning.

any ideas about the identity of the P-36?

Not a known survivor. Steve Hinton tells us in the second video that it is owned by The Fighter Collection and will be at Legends:
