To qualify I said > 1 in the same location

AFAIK there are only 1 of P-47's/P-38's/Bf 109/Corsair being restored in any location in Oztraylia unless someone knows diffrently :-)

The reason > 1 is important as it implies 'tooling up' for production


But Oh. Add P-39 in Oztraylia

I put it in.. Then took it out..

As I did not think anyone did 'two'

But thinking about it.. Maurice Hammond has done 1 and is doing another.. So that counts!

So yes you are right
