In reply top Re: PeterA.. Any more info on the 4 Kingcobras posted by Digby on Wed Apr 30, 2003 03:32:12 PM
I agree with Digby, maybe a bridge to far! Some years back I flew to Petropavlosk, Kamchatka to view a couple of the better examples that had been removed from the Kuril Is. I don't think there was one single component or piece of structure that had not been damaged in some way. The structure of the P-63 is a lot more complex than the Spitfire, it could be done but at what cost? The hard part though is to find serviceable propeller reduction gearboxes & u/c gearboxes. Now if you have a cache of those!!!
