I was out at Ardmore NZ late last year to see the restored Mossie and was super surprised to see her on the tarmac.

It looks like it has just left the assembly line!

Although it's mainly about his Kingfisher, there's some stuff about that P-39 in this vid:

She should be having her maiden flight right as I type this. Unfortunately (for me) the restorers only gave a 30min heads-up so there's no way I'd get out there in time, so I hope some more of her test flights are during this weekend so I can go see her fly, which would probably be the only time(s) that anyone in my part of the world could see an airworthy P-39!
I'll keep an eye out for any vids of her maiden flight.

Fair bit of whine going on here, might pay to turn your volume up.
