The following may be of interest
P-40N-1-CU,C/N.28580,S/N.42-104818,(A29-405,"HU-S")ex 78 Sqdn
Recovered in 1974 from Tadji, for Tallichet Collection
Ended up stored,with Tom Wilson/Curtiss Hawk Factory,USA
Sold to Graham Orphan,New Zealand
Last year, sold to new owner in New Zealand
Currently being restored
(The Fuselage still has the original paint work and identification of HU-S A29-405)
One thing that is currently a mystery to researchers and rebuilders, are the double identities of this and other R.A.A.F P-40's recovered from Tadji,PNG
R.A.A.F Servicing/Repair Unit/Squadron's were very good at repairing unserviceable P-40's by Canibalising other wrecks and Airframes in the field
