When I see this kind of stuff, it makes it clear why I love this stuff and why it cost what it does.

Funny word, bdk; I've been following this restoration closely, but only heard about this work myself yesterday! Thanks for the link.

The P-40's not exactly rare, while not common, but the Merlin birds are. There's a recovered wreck in Italy, Judy Pay's P-40F at Tyabb, the sister-aircraft to this one which is being converted to an Allinson engined example by the RNZAF Museum and the recent announcement of an F for Stephen Grey at Precision at Wangaratta.

Judy's machine has just had the first engine runs recently. See:

Incredible. I'd love to see more of the application of cutting-edge technologies being used on old machinery. Very very cool.

thanks for the link.
