One very long shot...

While I am always looking for pre-1980 pictures of warbirds I'm hoping someone might have a specific image. I am looking for an picture of P-51D 44-74427 after it was heavily damaged at Oshkosh on Aug. 9, 1970 when it's oxygen tanks exploded while it was on the ground. I'm hoping the public nature of Oshkosh might mean someone could possibly have a photo of this incident. Also, I would like a current photo of this aircraft in it's "Nooky Booky IV" scheme.

Thanks for any help provided.

Scott
