That Corsair was basically nothing more than an intact center fuselage section. There were no outer wing panels, tailcone, or firewall forward components to speak of. The main gear was extended, which does lend to the idea that the plane was dumped overboard from an RNFAA carrier. Of course the submersion in salt water has rendered the remains unusable for any type of restoration. I'm sure its probably serving as one heck of a conversation piece for the Indians though :)
