    Try this link to see a Curtiss Kittyhawk found in the Western Desert after 70 odd years. Believed to have been shot down it is now thought that the pilot, Flight Sergeant Copping, got lost in a sandstorm and eventually parachuted to earth when the aircraft ran out of fuel. No trace of the pilot was found apart from his parachute.

    There are other interesting photos as well. viz ME262 discovered in Holland buried in a bomb crater.

    Apologies for the link to the Daily Wail ... But I thought I recognised this Kittyhawk from somewhere. The story also featured in The independent at the time but I could only find this version when I googled it today. To date this is the last which has been heard on the matter from all parties involved. A shambles IMHO which should have been left as is and given war grave status like the WW2 Dark Peak Wrecks of Derbyshire and Yorkshire.

    Couldn't agree more Barney. I think you have it completely right!
