Thanks for posting the shot of Earl Reinert with the P-43 dishpan and engine mount - first time I've seen it. Any date on that one?

No problem, got that from David Kenney of VCS Aviation (date unknown). We used it to demonstrate that "stuff" is still out there. Dave was a big help providing some parts he had so we could add them to our collection.

The Dishpan and mount we hope is still out there and we hope in better condition than what we have left. We have also been reliably advised that there are still remains to be had in the USA. So we're hoping
someone will come forward with some information.
