How the RNZAF Museum in Christchurch can exchange a display quality Corsair (which I admit is not an original RNZAF aircraft, but of a type which dis serve with the RNZAF)
for a P-40F which is 5 years away from display, needs converting to P-40E type (which includes changing
the engine) and still did not physically serve with the RNZAF?

BTW - Is the Darby P-40 and the NZFPM Fighter Pilots Museum now the sole line of air defence for NZ, now
the A-4's have been retired.
