The classic story concerning the flight, is that the pilot for these flights, John Beattie of the Fleet Air Arm Flight in the Uk brought over a carburetor in his hand luggage. This was wired up and flown with it. After the flight, it was taken back to the UK. To my knowledge the engine has not been run since then.
There is(was) a good article in Warbirds Worldwide,( I think no 18,P38 on the cover.)
