Sorry to hear about John Penny, I had no idea until your post.
I spoke to John a couple of times in 2003 as I'd just bought what remained of a VP-2 that he built in the late eighties/early nineties.
The Veep is heavily modified and all of the mods are John's very own creations. It also had the eagle on the tail, just like yours, which I didn't intend to put back on now it's re-covered but if it's a Penny trademark I'll definitely try to do it.
I'm still rebuilding but hope that it will be in the air in the summer of 2005.
We'll either have to see about forming a Pprune VP Squadron or Penny's Flying Circus.
