I can think of no higher calling for WW2 avionics than to reside and be operated in an authentic WW aircraft. I know others have vastly different views on this subject. 

I donated some mil surplus radio gear and labor for a PV2 Harpoon that crashed a few years ago. I'd gladly do it again. 

That ultra rare  Helldiver restoration is just amazing.  Hats off to Vultures Roost. I hope they get all the WW2 avionics needed for a complete suite and a skilled worker to bring them back to life. 

Too bad the US govt. was so strict about selling post WW2 military aircraft. Can you imagine a B 36 warbird? Fire up ten engines and head for the next airshow. Work some guys on 3870 AM with the ARC 21 enroute. Can you imagine a B 58 warbird with a working star tracker nav system? Just kidding but its not a completely absurd fantasy. The Brits have a private Vulcan jet bomber fully operational.
