Ummm yup, another pile of corroded aluminum that will be 100%
replaced by hand made new parts at a cost of 2.5x 10e6, then declared
to be a 'restoration' and worshipped by the EAA... yawn


It's a P-38. If it's restored to -any- condition I'd have a hard time
yawning about it.


Well, if the Brits have anything to do with it, they'll restore it , then
give it to some Hooray Henry named Lt. Commander Nigel Double-Barreled
(goes back to Norman times you know, hawr hawr) who will replant it at an
airshow, and with any luck he'll take out a row of vintage airplanes as
well.
