I am just wondering how many folks have headed out to look for a warbird, only to find out somebody had been given bad information? Here's my tale of woe. A few years ago, while still living in Texas, I was told of two HA-1112's and some Merlin engines in a scrapyard in Spain. The information was from what I considered a very reliable person. After quite a bit of research,but no photos, I took some leave and caught a hop on a C-5 to Moron AB. After several hours of digging through scrap metal and trash, I found the VERY battered and flattened remains of two DeHavilland Chipmunks,parts of some sort of Cessna and several diesel truck engines.
