My father in law and two other guys owned a 109, until Military Intelligence took it from them.

Hard enough re-building a Merlin or Allison after all these years. Hmm

Gotta wonder how somebody obtains or makes spare parts for a DB 605 Surprise

If money was no object, I wouldn't hesitate. I would like to have a collection of tanks and WW II planes, much like the famous car collectors of today. Granted, they would be arguably much more expensive.
