Ok, I missed this one...
I know about Javier Arango and his excellent collection of aircraft... but somehow I missed this part:
 where the heck are all those LeRhones going? this is from an Air and Space article in 2012: http://www.airspacemag.com/history-o...s-3409154/?all From the article: "For several years a Paso Robles machinist, Richard Galli, has been creating for Arango a set of 10 precise copies of an original 110-hp LeRhône. The work generates mountains of metal chips, liberating, for example, a 35-pound crankcase from a 650-pound slug of steel. The manufacture of the required 90 cylinders—an inhumanly tedious task—has been outsourced: They are being hewn out of steel bar stock in New Zealand on computer-controlled machines owned by film director Peter Jackson’s Vintage Aviator Ltd., which reconstructs World War I aircraft." so, there is the PJ connection...

Well I can tell you where they are not. Spending 3 nights at Fred's shop along with John there was no mention of these.
How did this slip under the radar. Vary interesting. Lloyd...
