many thanks for the replies. such a shame to see it in such a state.
😀 yeah but what happens when you get glue all over the canopy n melt it lol
Meanwhile, the Harlech P-38 quietly crumbles …
thats becouse its not rare or a Spitfire, quite sad really
2 months i could well believe. the outer skin on both wings may need removing/replacing and repainting also as well as replacement of the other tip. both items may also have to be constructed from new or replacement items stripped, modified, inspected and repainted also.. its not the usual wear and tear item you would have on the shelf.. so besides the paperwork there is probably a lot of work to be done on the aircraft which is a bit of a shame becouse the show season is here. at least she`s in one piece though
no 6 looks like a hunter rear end, the fin would have been behind the spine on the top of the body, remains of jetpipe behind by the looks of it
actualy its an oil drum behind on closer inspection, my eyesight ?? lol
any more of the Bucc?, great to see a selection of something different although the weather seems familiar lol. that Agusta(?) helicopter is festooned in lumps n bumps, amazing
fantastic all, a real nostalgia trip. more more more please lol
FAKE OR REAL?? you tell me
its the kind of thing you can watch at a flick of a switch 24/7 but its not the slightest bit aviationy. not upsetting as such for me personaly but i dont think it belongs amongst these pages.
some members may find the accidents upsetting if they have lost loved ones or have been involved in such accidents. the poster forgot to mention this and for such reason i think it should be removed or edited to include a slightly better desciption

we have got members from all over the world. any polish out there who could interpret???,
Who says he didn’t write down serial numbers or identifying numbers? Many parts of that airframe have been sandblasted down to bare metal. What is so surprising about someone releasing pictures without positive identifying numbers? Intentional or not? I would do the same thing until I had time to do more research myself. Likewise with people in the photos. I seriously doubt that these are the only pictures this person took, and we know that this isn’t someone alone in the desert. Maybe they didn’t want their faces show just yet, or at all. Just because they didn’t post GPS coordinates and serial numbers to a modeling site? Petrol exploration has led to many of these discoveries over the years.
well perhaps some people aint so thoughtfull, after all they were looking for oil and perhaps not realy into old things and aviation. odd that the 1st couple of pics are distant shots.seems a waste if its old film photography as you didnt have many frames to spare.. but bad alignment and crap shots if digital.. im half convinced its real.. the cracks in the front R/H screen are the same inside as out and the close up detail looks correct in light and scale but the distant shots look odd. like the first shots of MAN ON THE MOON.
is there a date given for when the photo`s were taken?
its all fishy to me. was the photograther on his/her own?. normaly with discoveries like this there is always one or two people mooching around in the photo`s.
total lack of sqn code and no photo of the tail serial seems realy odd. any ref number or detail you would try to record. does not matter if it was an old lorry or a sunken ship.
found this in my pond
but theres none at all though, fabric covered or not. for it to be a fighter it should have guns lol.
note the lack of gun ports. there does not even seem to be any doped fabric/overpainted in camo flat spots for the ports..
