Four P-40s at Wanaka?

Now that got your attention.

I have just checked out the WOW2002 there are some interesting news items.

It says that Pioneer Avspecs are working on three aircraft to appear. One is the La-9 for the OFMC, and 'two Curtiss P-40's are being rebuilt for American owners'. One will be Jerry Yagen's. Who owns the other one?

Later on there is a mention that the 'new P-40E will be joined by the very rare RNZAF P-40E owned by Ray Hanna'. Does this mean that Ray is taking the OFMC P-40 home?

And Garth Hogan and Charles Darby will be taking their P-40N.

That makes four P-40s. Can anyone confirm any of this?
