It is on the list, but it's in Australia now, having been sold and relocated to Australia earlier this year. It is not yet on the Australian registry, but that is likely to happen soon, along with new paint.

TF-51 Mustang G-CLNV flew again yesterday after some lengthy work at Sywell. It's already back in France and, I believe, displayed at todays La-Ferté-Alais show.

ZK-DAK is still (as of 2 weeks ago anyway) at Ardmore, both engines fitted but the starboard without propeller. So not sure when it will join ZK-AWP.

Butch Schroeder's P-40K Warhawk 42-9733 (N9733) has returned to flight for the first time since being acquired in the summer of 2018 (it previously owned by Tom Duffy). The aircraft has been returned to 100% stock condition and finished in the exact same paint scheme it wore when based in the Aleutians with the 343rd Fighter Group during WWII - of which is a particular style of paint scheme which had yet to be done on a restored P-40 (it looks incredible!). The aircraft is scheduled to be at Oshkosh next month, and will take part in EAA's Warbirds in Review program.

Thanks for keeping these updated, John. The FHCAM P-38 looks spectacular. Any photos of the P-40K or P-51D that anyone can share? Looking forward to potentially seeing all three at Oshkosh in a few weeks!

Another call for the P-40K. I'm excited to see what it looks like now!
