Monday teaser.

Third crate from the left at the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark….

No, that one contains Doug Arnold and his box of everlasting biscuits…:D

To update this one…

The two fighter fuselages inside Walt’s ex-USAFM B-36 hulk were a P-63A and an XP-82 Twin Mustang (port fuse only). The P-47, which is a fuselage and partial tail unit only, is either an N or a late D–probably the latter. The XP-82 has left the collection and is now with Tom Reilly for resurrection into a flying airframe (the intact Soplata F-82E is also set to fly again in Minnesota). At last report the P-63 and P-47 fuselages were still at Walt’s, but of course with Walt having passed away recently their status may have changed or be soon to…

I’m not sure what this is, Victor perhaps:confused: http://www.aircraftresourcecenter.com/Fea1/101-200/Fea182_Walters-Farm_Williams/ws_f.jpg

Victor XL191, undershot Hamilton and ended up quite poorly

That could be the XP82 fuselage as this is also mentioned in the thread

The thread also mentions that the P47 had been removed from the aircraft and placed on display

Have a look here http://www.johnweeks.com/b36/b36soplata.html

I assume this is the B-36 http://www.aircraftresourcecenter.com/Fea1/101-200/Fea182_Walters-Farm_Williams/ws_s.jpg

Theres definately something in the B-36 fuselage looks more like a P-51 than a P-47 http://www.aircraftresourcecenter.com/Fea1/101-200/Fea182_Walters-Farm_Williams/ws_w.jpg

I wonder is it true?

According to http://www.warbirdinformationexchange.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=7722&start=45

It is inside a B36

To Quote

YB-36/RB-36E serial number 42-13571. This was the first prototype to be converted to the bubble canopy used on production B-36s. It was on display in the 1950’s at the former Air Force Museum on Wright-Patterson Air Force Base near Dayton, Ohio. When the Museum was moved to a different location on the base the cost of moving the bomber was more than simply flying a different B-36 to the new location and the aircraft was slated to be scrapped. Instead, Walter Soplata bought it and transported the pieces by truck to his farm in Newbury, Ohio, where it sits today in several large pieces. The center fuselage currently stores a complete P-47N still contained in its original shipping crate.

On the moon, behind the London Bus?

Time-Team are on their way to the relevant Hollywood back lot right now.

Buried under a corner of every airfield?

Thought that was a P47G….

It was (and is!)

Obviously in a mine shaft in Oz.
