Tom - I know of atleast two aircraft which he has bought in the U.K which were bought for 'small money' because he delt with another party in the sale so his reputation doesn't always preceed him. I also have a good idea of what he is after next so he isn't that secretive.
Regards the Tomahawk in all fairness to the parties
involved it isn't everyones cup of tea as it's so precious
that to use her to a large degree is tempting fate. Regards the restoration yes I am sure Steven has made a good profit on her but in all fairness she did come out of Russia before they got expensive so yes the is a good margin on a machine like that. Regards the PNG P-38 these machine's are hardly the best kept secret !
Lastly on history the machine with the best history is often not the most expensive machine - i seem to recall that a top notch new TF-51D conversion is worth more than a P-51D with a good history.
