Not I... what about you? I only saw it flying on the day of it's first flight.

I would rather fly behind a tried and proven aeroplane engine!

Hence why my '66 Ford Thunderbird has a steering-wheel that swings to one side to allow the more (ahem) portly types entry and exit.

Ford made the Rolls Royce merlin engine under licence in WW2, they also built an aircraft after the war, seen pics in a very old National geographic mag. Howard hughes used ford V8s in the Spruce Goose, though I may be corrected very soon.
There was a group of guys a few years ago who re-enacted the first flight from the UK to Austrailia in a Vickers Vimmy Bomber copy of WW1 fame, that was powered by Chev V8s,
But holden will be renamed British Leyland and re make Morris marinas.

Ford Trimotor. Very famous aeroplane.
