O.K. now please elaborate, who is Duffy, where was the ex-Blaire Warhawk and where is it going? I lost my decoder ring and can't figure this out. Do you have a serial number or N number?

This P-40K was once operated by the Alpine Fighter Collection in New Zealand.
I was there at the Wanaka airshow in 1992 and saw its first flight after restoration.

I was there too Damon, and saw its first flight, with Mark Hanna at the controls just before the show started. Cutting it fine but very expert guys so no problems with it. I used to enjoy seeing this aircraft visiting RNZAF Base Wigram when I was based there.
