Aircraft History
Although this is not a WWII Pacific airframe, it was in service with the  Peruvian Air Force P-47-D, first owned by David Tallichet, then acquired by Westpac Aviation

Restoration
Restored to flying status, this thunderbolt has flown at many airshows, and had several replacements made. Currently, it is being re-restored.  Westpac hopes to make the fighter 100% original, equipment-wise, including a fully-functioning turbo supercharger.

Thanks to Allan Wojciak for additional information, and the opportunity to view this aircraft under restoration.
