Good job the navy didn’t have to do the “quick reaction alerts” or whatever they were called then back in the late 1940s….

Actually.. How airworthy is the Spence machine.. When was it last displayed?
Anyway the location of the source of the photo has been posted. See earlier link. Why would anyone fake holiday snaps?
Anyway for the conspiracy theorists.. I think it was the guy on the grassy knoll who took the picture!

Paranormal… Sounds likes something Channel 5 would put out!

Here is some consideration of the possible real ID of this aircraft.

Anyone else care to add anything, especially on the actual recovery date…As based on re-collection RCAF 5708 is my favorite at the moment…
“the 32,000-ton, 888-foot aircraft carrier was built at the New York Naval Shipyard and delivered to the Navy in 1950”
Modern?
According to the Warbirds Directory it was recovered from a swamp in Texas….dunno how that came about though!

My copy says..
Recovered (from) swamp near Gander, and trucked to Texas in 1972
The last time I looked Gander is in Canada!
:rolleyes:
However, does anyone know (or can guess an Hurricane Mk. XII RACF serial) for this and a crash date?
