Tony,

Pardon my ignorance. What B24 board?

ROB


: From the B-24 board
:
: I have just finished a job uplifting a P-38 in Papua New G
: uinea for future restoration. Whilst on the job, we follo
: wed a lead on a second P-38, but instead discovered an unp
: ublished wreck of a B-24 buried in the jungle. The serial
: number on the fin as read was 240348 and the local elder
: remembers pulling out the bodies of the aircraft shortly a
: fter the crash but had to leave the remains on a track bes
: ide the aircraft due to the proximity of the Japanese.
:
: The details of our find will be forwarded to the appropria
: te authorities here in Papua New Guinea and hopefully the
: "body snatchers" will follow up with an examination of the
: wreck for the remains of the crew.
:
: So which P-38 is this, where is it going, what state is Tw
: in Niftys in, and most importantly of all, has Hawaii been
: informed?
