Re: Bad weather uncovers some history
First found in the seventies, it gets covered again then a storm uncovers it.
This is the fourth time I think.

Is that a twin fuselage yank plane, a Mustang?

Re: Bad weather uncovers some history
But the Mustang was a one engine single seater fighter.
It would have to be a microscopic picture to think that it was one.

Is it me or is there an airman sat in the main intact section looking towards the camera?
Re: Bad weather uncovers some history
I thought they would try and recover it being a peice of history, probably break up though whilst trying to do it and be too expensive.

You could say that, they say some things are best left where there are, I can't think of a better prime example, too far off being intact & mother nature will have her say regardless.

There was a twin fuselage version of the Mustang which could be confused with a P38Bin Ont Turf wrote: ↑Sun Feb 16, 2020 9:52 pmBut the Mustang was a one engine single seater fighter.

Didn't see active service in the war though

Re: Bad weather uncovers some history
Pretty safe bet it’s neither.
By coincidence, the same month this P38 crashed in 1942, another one crashed just to the east of Hurstwood village.
If anyone’s interested, have a look at:-

Re: Bad weather uncovers some history
I was reading about it the other day, they’ve spent millions in the past trying to save them and they turned to dust within 12 months due to the corrosion when they’ve been pulled from sea water
