Duxford :: 11/12/13

Tucked away at the back of H2 - soon to be broken down and packed for shipping?...

The other P-40...

Meanwhile outside...

Crate for #284....

Yet another shipping container looks likely to be parked outside Hangar 2 at Duxford...

"Robert Collings, executive director of the Stow, Mass.-based Collings Foundation, said that the purchase of the Curtiss P-40B Warhawk from an aviation museum in England was completed this week. The plane will be disassembled and shipped to the United States, where it eventually will fly over Buffalo and other cities, with plans to participate in the 75th anniversary of the Pearl Harbor attack in 2016, he said."
