Great footage, well put together.
Any idea why they painted this P-40 as Ed Overend's AVG plane when actually this plane was delivered to Britain and then Lend-Leased to Russia where it crash landed?
Also, is this the same restoration as the one Steve Hinton did for Duxford? If so it's not an export version as claimed by Flying Heritage. (see link below)

Either way I think it would have been cool to have painted it in it's Russian livery.
