P40 Kittyhawk crash in Western desert

You've probably seen it, but just in case.

 

Do you remember the P40 Kittyhawk found in the Western desert a couple of years ago, well I found a picture of it when it looked a little less "weathered".  Scroll down to page 23 or image 62.

It's the second one in, "B - HS" from 260 Sqn

The link say that ... "one of FW 190 most outstanding qualities... blablabla... aileron control... one single handled half o RAF Spitfire squadron".

Purely incidental, I assure you.

When a topic, I'm interested in, comes up in the forums, I like to try and do a little light research to try and keep myself properly informed.
