PAnderson Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Here is an interesting little video. Apparently, this DH.9 was found in India, rotting away. It is now restored and almost ready to fly again. http://www.itv.com/news/meridian/update/2013-09-02/first-world-war-aircraft-found-in-elephant-shed/ Enjoy, Paul 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BradG Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 This use to be the norm back 40 years ago. Good hunting grounds were farmers paddocks as many aircraft were bought post war for their engines and tires which were hard to come by in the immediate post war world. A Beaufighter and Kittyhawk were found in a paddock here. Infact the Mk 1 Beaufighter in the USAF Museum was that paddock queen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One-Oh-Four Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 BTW; it's better than finding an elephant rotting away in a DH.9 shed..... :/ Nice vid! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
