Airworthy P-40M at the Tri-State Warbird Museum with a chequered history. It was assigned USAAF s/n 43-5813 in Jan. 1943, though it never served with the service. It was one of 301 sent to RNZAF under Lend-Lease. Taken on strength with No. 16 Sqn. on 21 May 43, it was assigned s/n NZ3119. Damaged four times between 1943-44, it was relegated to No. 2 OTU. The museum bought the P-40M in 2006. Restored in 2011, it crashed, was rebuilt and won the 2016 Grand Champion WWII & Gold Wrench Award at Oshkosh.
