Country:  | Museum Visit
The other day I paid a visit to one of the local museums in Adelaide called the Classic Jets Fighter Museum, mainly to have a squizz at the progress of the awesome P-38 the're restoring. She's looking great! can't wait to see her finished. Anyway, it's only a very small museum but has some great jet aircraft and other interesting iteams on display.

Country: | Great pictures. It is a shame that Sabre picture didn't come out better as I have had a recent interest in Australian Sabres. That P-40 wreck is really interesting.

| Do they have any idea what the S/N of the P40 was, or what squadron it was in?

Country: | Sorry mate I didn't get that info, all I can tell you is it is served with the USAAC and not the RAAF.
