A Tempest fighter is on its way to be restored in NZ
At Pearl Harbour the B-17E Swamp Ghost is to be moved to the Pacific Museum at Ford Island for display as is and wont be restored sadly as some wish.
Exciting times for some.

If it wasn’t going to be restored, I can’t think of a better place for it.
I think the NMUSAF would have also been an appropriate place for it “as is” but the Pacific museum is just as good and as appropriate.
It is also pity PNG itself is not advanced enough to have its own museum display space for such relics to be recovered, preserved and displayed but clearly it has some more fundamental issues to focus on, and such items are of great risk of being scrapped or scavenged to extinction otherwise.
