John,
Yes, the "Jack" is one of my favorites too, big beautiful, sturdy looking aircraft, I'm glad they missed your dad.
It would really be something to see it fly, but as far as I know, this the last of its kind and will be kept on the ground.
Plus if you look close, the fit and finish is fairly poor, built towards the end of rhe war. Probably best to keep this one on the ground.
