: : Does anyone know if the P40 N fuselage within the
: : hanger is a TP 40 N, is this airframe N2256N.
: I think I may have some notes regarding this one.
: Unfortunately I won't be able to get to them for a few
: days. Stay tuned.

...I don't have much to add, but here is what I have regarding this one...

Model: Curtiss P-40N Warhawk
S/N: ???
C/N: ???
C/R: N2256N
Owner: Simpson Vintage Aircraft Inc. (this is as of 1998, ownership has changed since then, see notes)
Notes: This P-40 was recovered in Russia. As of October 2002 the restoration had resumed after a change in ownership which occurred circa June 2001.

I don't know if it is a TP-40N, but if memory serves correctly, the cockpit was not that long, so I don't believe so.

If anyone happens to know the s/n or c/n of this one please let me know. The ID has been elusive so far.

Regards,

Mike
