Just in casr anyone doesnt know I thought Iwould explain the way a lot of war bird restoration works. Warbirds are usualy created from many warbirds. If you recover an old wreck you look for what is called forges, or pieces of metal that was forged. These would be ribs, spars, lonegrons, engine mounts etc. Sheet metal skin can be easily replaced but the forges cannot. This is what makes warbird recovery such a long term process. It may indeed take three or four wrecks to make one rare aircraft such as a P40 or a P39. I have a good freind that is looking at the wreck of a P40. Flown into a hill and burnt out. Starting price..............a cool 350 grand. By this time tomorrow I shall have gained either a pearage or Westminster Abbey........Nelson |
