Former Alexishaen Tony to go on display at Pacific Fighters Museum

Salvaged in 1984 from Alexishafen Airstrip, Ki-61 Tony 299 was left to suffer the ravages of time and elements in the backyard of the PNG Modern History Museum , Port Moresby. The unit was shipped  by Robert Greinert in 2002 from the National Museum in Port Moresby to assist in the restoration of the PNG Museum Ki-61 Tony 640.
 
Tony 292 is unique as a relic and following a request from Murray Griffith's, CEO of the Pacific Fighters Museum, it was agreed to loan the unit for display in the rapidly developing Museum. It is proposed to display the relic in a jungle setting next to some of its former opponents ala P40's, P39's and Wirraway. News via Robert Greinert, photo by Mick Grinter.
