In this episode, in the Wings Over Australia sub-series, co-hosts Dave Homewood and James Kightly interview warbird recovery expert and restorer Ian Whitney. Ian talks about his background in aviation and how he got into the unusual field of recovering warbird wrecks from the jungles of Papua New Guinea, and other places around the Pacific War theatre. He also talks about the restoration of his own Curtiss P-40N Warhawk, and its USAAF pilot.

I’m excited to hear this one – I grew up on a steady diet of Classic Wings Downunder magazines and Ian’s name would frequently pop up. Thanks for sharing Dave, I’ll have to return to give my feedback.
