Weren’t these designed for a big block Chevy engine? I think also that a V12 was made for this using Chevy components and original castings by Ryan falconer?
Thank god for that! I thought I was going to get a load of pictures of some old geezers tool………………………………..And yes the old tools are so much better than the new ones, No really they are………….
When I went for my Flight in the Chino air museums P51 It was not a paid flight but an Orientation flight given for joining the museum………………………. I think the rules must be similar over ‘ere…………………..
I ordered my copy a while ago and got it last week, shipping to the USA was not cheap but the book more than makes up for the cost. I’ve never read such a book with so much detail on the original aircraft’s history before the restoration and the pilot’s who flew her. The actual restoration is shown via a series of photo’s and narrative which is informative without being over technical.
All in all an excellent tribute to Al Deere and all his fellow pilots…………..Paul
Interesting on the advert he says fully functioning Tiger Moths are fetching 40K! However this machine would require 40K plus to get it to that standard!
Plane or car it ALWAYS cost’s more than it’s worth to restore these days………………
I’m still shooting wartime 30/06 and some very old 308 with only the occasional missfire. if Ammo is stored properly I can’t see it ever “going off”
There have been reports of old 308 having massive over pressure as a result of the powder flakes having been reduced to a fine powder by years of misshandling and some reports of damage to guns and people………..
