Re: P-40 wreck found in Egyptian desert
Hello,
From http://www.vintagewings.ca/Home/tabi...fault.aspxello, Looks like the P-40 was that of W/C "Stocky" Edwards, coded "HS-B". Could it be a "Merlin" powered Mk II of the "FL" serial range ? Alex

Re: P-40 wreck found in Egyptian desert
It is not a Merlin engine .The P-40 in the photo has a air scoop on top of the nose,Merlin engine P-40's did not have this,
On another form someone contacted W/C Edwards and he said he never crashed a P-40 like that. Rick

Rick
What forum was that reference to W/C Edwards ? I think it is accepted he never crashed this one, but he may have flown it previously in 1942 Thanks Paul

Re: P-40 wreck found in Egyptian desert
Hi Paul, sorry I didnt save the link ,I got from one of the model Airplane forums.
With so many forums having this P-40 I can't remember were I seen it. Sorry. Your correct in it may have flew it because of the code letters. I have his book which I need to dig out but seems like everyone else has done that.
