A second world war RAF Curtis P40 has been found in the Egyptian Desert. It looks in good condition considering it's age. Video here:-

I think it's great when parts of our history are found like this.

Thanks, that's pretty cool. Too bad it looks like they are tearing it apart.

It is the Egyptian Army removing the ammo. See following

forum.keypublishing.com...

From that thread it appears that there is a lot going on behind the scenes and that the Egyptian authorities are now protecting the aircraft.
