I dips me lid to Reevers Warbirds...a huge and complicated endeavour...but not impossible. Its all about the $$$.

To have such a flying memorial for the Aussie bombers crews in WW2 would be fantastic.
Perhaps the AWM in Canberra with G for George could be of assistance, financially and otherwise.

And for parts..there is a broken Avro York way up in the tundra, a goldmine of spares,
but of course, also a major exercise to extract.

I raise my hand as a volunteer, and Im sure many others would too

I know the B25 he has acquired, it was a corroded mess when I first had anything to do with it in 1963, I am quite certain time has not improved it.
Still, with sufficient volume of cubic dollars anything is possible. All you have to do is replace everything except the dataplate, so to speak.
Tootle pip!!
