| AFAIK the best plane didn't need any Brit help to get it flying well, they just beat the Yanks to using it on carriers operationally

| It flew under the Sydney Harbour bridge for a war bonds promotion. The pilot (and I'd assume the rest of the crew) were pathfinders in Europe before returning to Australia with their plane Q for Queenie. It flew around Australia on a war bonds tour and as a promotion it flew under the bridge. The pilot was Isaacson or something similar. All I can find about it are a couple short paragraphs.
