I’d suspect that they are probably listed in early editions of Wrecks & Relics.

Indeed, as there is still no sign of the P-40 in the UK. The trade would appear to have been a Spitfire in exchange for facilitating the packing and moving the P-40 to a more secure location (feel free to correct this if I have been misinformed).

Trumper,

Imagine a tandem Jet Provost/Strikemaster and you won’t be far wrong. It even has the same engine (Viper)

Your best bet would be to contact the PAOs at Norfolk and North Island.

What happened to “this is unique and should not go out of the country”?

Wasn’t this the graveyard that the owner reluctantly sold an aircraft only to see it quickly on sold for a large profit?
I think that stopped him from selling any more.. but ironically that particular airframe is probably in better condition than had it stayed where it was?

Actually, if you’re talking about the F2G Super Corsair ‘Race 74’, Soplata was very wary of selling it because he was worried about it being destroyed in a crash. He eventually sold it to the Crawford Museum with the stipulation that it be restored for static only. However they later ran short of funds and sold it on to Bob Odergaard, who completed the restoration to airworthy condition, flew it, crashed it practicing low-level aerobatics and destroyed it, sadly being killed himself in the accident.

Eric Brown landed a P-39 on a carrier on 4 April 1945. He later claimed that this was the first carrier landing by a tricycle-gear aircraft, but I believe that F7F Tigercats had already carried out carrier landing trials in the US by this time.
