Picked this up from Dan Ford's Annals web site. Dan has been tracking this Brewster ever since it came out of the Russian Lake..

"The latest rumor to have surfaced is that "a Brewster Buffalo that has been brought back to the US recently from Russia" has been traded to the U.S. Navy for three P-3s. That would almost certainly be BW-372.
But P-3s? I thought that all the trade in warbirds involved other warbirds--e.g., I'll take your Brewster Buffalo and give you three Wildcats. "
