More pics from Honduran F4U recovery expedition

As you can probably tell, the first two of these pics were almost completely yellow. It took me quite a while but I was able to clean them up and restore the color quite well. These are from the Bob Forbes collection, and all were taken during the December 1979 recovery expedition.

The first two pictures are of an A-26 and Corsair under guard on location at Toncontin Air Base. The second two show the ground crew that was assigned to FAH-604 (BuNo.122179) which was the F4U-5N flown back by Bob Forbes.
