You're Top Poster: #10   | P39Q recovered I've been sent this very interesting link on the recovery of a P39 from a lake in Russia. It's been possible to trace its complete history. Apparently it is now in the UK awaiting restoration Bell P39Q-15BE 44-2911 Airacobra |

You're Top Poster: #5  | A very good find and in remarkable good weather. Another one that I hope they restore and put on display.

You're Top Poster: #3 | Discussed this on "another" forum last year. Lot of politicking and money changing hands etc etc. Glad it has been resolved.

You chose dishonor and you will have war." (Winston Churchill made this prophetic pronouncement in a House of Commons speech in 1938, just after Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain signed the Munich agreement with Hitler. Chamberlain returned from Germany with the signed agreement in hand, proclaiming that "peace in our time" had been achieved. Churchill attacked Chamberlain's "politics of appeasement" in this and many other speeches.) What did the Australians do in ww2 and other conflicts?

You're Top Poster: #2 | Great analogy, H90, she really has survived her time under water really well.
