Got the latest Flypast today.. For you Spitfire fans the news ‘of possibles’ going to Airframe Assembles will make you pant… Not sure how to read the story but I counted 4 or 5!
However, there is a brief news report of the P-39 recoverey from Russia. It is called ‘substantial wreckage’ now I have seen photos of her and no way could you call her ‘substantial wreckage’, more like ‘almost complete’..
Is this a bit of sour grapes because the other mag got the exclusive?

Actually, I understand the P39 looks great from a distance……..

That may be so, and I have no doubt that a lot of time and £/$ will be needed to restore her..
But could you call that ‘substantial wreckage’?
I reckon the RAF Museum Hampden could be called ‘substantial wreckage’ but not the P-39
