Ditched Corsair at Eglington

I know this is not a new crash site to most of you but can anyone provide me with a definitive history of this aircraft (ex-FAA I believe) and it’s current state. Ulster Aviation Society know of it as do quite a few people but nobody I’ve met so far can give me a confirmed response. Anyone got any pics of it?

Cheers Flood, not sure how I missed that one. Fills in a few blanks. 😀

Centre fuselage exterior skin and engine bearers are visible. Engine, propellor, and rear fusealge not visible. Cockpit is gutted and ‘finishes’ half-way up the fuselage (so appearing the cockpit to appear in 2 seat ‘side-by-side’ configuration). Gull wing stucture is clearly visible, although skins are missing.

I’ll try and get a photo for you sometime in the near future.
