    Sponsorship flights are available on this P-51 as well as on the Stearman biplane this weekend.

    Are the engines in reasonable shape? What other aircraft could they be put on? I guess a new front end would be required.

    Thanks guys, I believe on the Gipsy Major this would have nothing to do with icing as it is downstream of the carb. Could it have something to do with vaporisation of fuel under certain conditions.

    I was also told that on the Gipsy, the outer box was made thinner than the inner box so that if there is corrosion, the outer box will will rust through first, but I have not confirmed this.

    And while its wonderful that the National and Vintage Wings have been able to add these aircraft they are 3-4000km away from me and thousands of km away from most Canadians.

    Actually, I’d say most Canadians are within several hundred kilometers of these two places.

    Perhaps some outside the box thinking is required. Two major restoration locations in Canada are Vintage Wings and Canadian Warplane Heritage. Perhaps it should be sent to one of those places for restoration(based on donations and/or Calgary money or something worked out as a partnership). Then once complete, the aircraft is flyable and alternates years in the east and in the west for all of us to see.

    Just an idea.
