Warbird Information Exchange

The thread about people asking serial numbers on the relief tube etc got me thinking...
Has anyone on here, or that you know bought any warbird parts from a guy going by the name of "Yoyo" over the past 6 or 7 years? He was owner/bartender at that bar & the stuff he sold & ebayed wasn't his, most of it was mine.
There was a rear fuselage skin from a PR11 Spit, an R2800 Cylinder (NEW!), a cam from some radial that no one was ever able to identify (2 rows of 5 *bumps) but thought to be Navy for some reason.
There was also an R3350 cylinder that belonged to someone else & a bunch of other misc stuff (R2800 ex valves, new, odd bits from Stiletto etc).
At least I got my R2800 Bendix carb out of there before that disappeared....

There is a strong chance he'd have a somewhat modified air intake system if I got hold of him. He only ran that bar for a short while, stripped it & cleared off a bit sharpish.
Word did get out not long after the place was stripped & a lot of stuff mysteriously showed up on their backdoor step one morning, but some had already apparently been ebayed... including the Spit skin. I had a matching pair which were hanging in 2 bars on town. The original one at Wing & A Prayer was screwed to the ceiling & remians there. However, the other one was moved from the bar where it hung to Wing & A Prayer & promptly when AWOL before it was bolted down.
The only reason the Stiletto skin is still there is because it was screwed to the wall with tamper-proof screws....
