Shangri-La Wreck

Posted by Michael on Tue May 21, 2002 06:28:25 AM

In his book, "Mustang Aces of the Eight Air Force", Jerry Scutts' caption above the photo of the wreck of Shangri-La raised the rumour that "the wreck was bulldozed into a farmer's pond near to the Essex airfield, where it remains to this day." Presumably the farmer's pond in question is one on Hackett's farm where Don Gentile crashed but can anyone tell me if there is any subatance to this rumour ?
