    Hi Jerry
    Its a long time since we talked on this one, I always wondered what had happened to the powerboat Peregrine engines, I remember contacting the USN at Pensicola and Eglin, where it had been standing on a mat outside a hanger in 1943. But the present curators of the museums there seem to have no information at all regarding the fate of this aircraft.It had been awaiting a tailwheel from Westland (had there been any evidence, that this had been dispatched?) surely there must be some vets’ out there that have some recollection of its fate, I have letters from a few R.A.F personell posted over in Florida on detachment with the U.S.N who had seen it there as late as early 1944. Any more news?
