GREAT find!
Unfortunately bad landing location for unfortunate pilot - God bless his soul!

Certainly capable of being restored to flying status, I've seen far less salvaged, and rebuilt. Surprised the desert sands haven't completely destroyed the paint. Kevin, pack your bags, grab Wimmer, it's MRP time for you two!

I wish !! That plane landed in the perfect conditions to preserve an aircraft. Hot and dry!! No corrosion and absolutely it could be restored to flying status.

You do know that article is two years old right?

I do, I read it when it first came out. Haven't heard a thing about it since. Same with the sea containers full of new Spitfires in Southeast Asia, nothing heard of late about that.

Exactly. That is what I meant. You would think after two years there would have been more reports about the plane and efforts to move it, or restore it, etc. But nothing, no follow up that I could find. Shame.

Agree. Love to hear about it's fate. Still think Kevin and Rob need to book a flight, and reserve a couple of camels.
