Sorry for continuing the idle speculation when we have been asked not to but i just can't help myself. Besides, all the suspense is, like Cees said, just a deliberate attempt to whip up a media frenzy and sell more copies of whichever magazine gets the exclusive. Well, it's working so far!
A few people have suggested the 'mystery warbird' may be something Japanese. This reminded me of a story i once read somewhere about a remote IAF base (on an island possibly), which had a derelict Zero floatplane as a Gate Guard.
Could this be the surprise find?
Has anyone else heard of this before and know more of the who, what, why, when ,where, how about it?
Cheers
Stuart
All a-quiver with excitement.
It'll be such an anti-climax if this turns out to be just another Spitfire or Hurricane wreck (oooh, controversial!)
