This is a wellknown wreck here in france and yes it is a p-40 (MERLIN ENGINED I THINK).
It was found 10 years ago off the coast of corsica and dragged near the shore (8 metres deep).
It is know in a restricted military area in aspretto. this is a training base for french commandos.
I remenber that the canopy was still sliding freely when it was found and now this part is missing.
The american star was still visible on the fuselage side.
