Oh, we need to get one flying again in Britain...

A bit like Sea Furies being unable to fly in the UK unless they have a Centaurus. The air must be different in the US, where they bolt on P&W engines.

I keep hearing that one of the Mossies in Avspecs' queue is destined for the UK, hope that is indeed the case.
Yep, WG655 has an R2800 and I understand can be quickly changed back to Centaurus? The two French Sea Furies fly here most years with either R2800 or R3350.

Glues and engines, just prove that its airworthy and the CAA will give you permission to fly. Any change of that sort is called a 'modification' (or 'Change' in EASA-land) and there is a very well proven process for gaining approval, and its not that difficult.
