    Had a good thead about this here: http://www.ww2aircraft.net/forum/avi...eal-32522.html (Desert P-40 video....it is real)
    It's amazing how well preserved it is!

    I think this is the third thread dedicated to this find . It seems the Sun is not that up to date. Haven't read what they are going to do with the wreck. That cockpit was looking pretty good. Hope it still does but I fear it does no longer.

    Amazingly, it has even managed to slip into the Dutch papers with some details I haven't seen before. it seems that due to damages the plane was flying with extended landing gear.
    I alsoo read that there are plans to ship the plane to Brittain.
