P39 found in Russia

Thanks Dave.
I wonder if anyone opened the containers of food that were found in the wings!

Both in store with Jim Pearce

Didnt Jim Pearce recover it? Beleive its up for sale at present – not heard that its been sold so I imagine its still in the UK – though the same question could be said for his Me109?

I think Peter speaks of the intact P-39 lifted from a lake last year; Mark Sheppard did a thorough writeup in a “prominent British aviation magazine” about it, which explained why such a pristine aircraft with no battle damage was found with the pilot still on board (!!!).

No idea where it’s at right now, though… and no, I don’t know if it will be at Legends. >:)

Would you mean #42-8784 from the Soviet Air Force that was recovered in 11/96 and delivered to Chino? 🙁
