Today's airworthy Lizzies have some of the rarest airworthy engines in the world in the Bristol Mercury.

Can't find any reference to the French machine. Hang on, that might be because it's Belgian and owned by the Sabena Old Timers! #@$%&! Great resto story:

Kermit Weeks has one as well in Florida but don't think she's flown in a while.
