This P.40N has been making appearances in the same state at Lakeland since the early 90's. As I understand it, it is 43-24362 and reported as registered N25CU. I seem to recollect it was one of two that crashed into a swamp in Florida but may be wrong. Someone else can no doubt fill in the history of its crash and recovery etc.
