Craig is good, he'll do research for you just for the fun of it. He only charges for certain projects. Here's his site:

It's interesting that you respond here, but don't reply to PM's.

I hope Mr. Brooks will be all over this one. He has done it with the B-17, and these Cobras are readily visible from the air. He obviously knows the politics to get it done.

Hi George:

Could you fill us in on who saw these from the air?

Thanks,

Chris

Harvard - According to 4 or 5 articles I found, the bushpilots in that remote area have seen them whenever they fly over the lake. Its only 50' deep.

Can you give me the name and date of the magazines? Also, what province? No name of lake, I believe right?

Thanks,

Chris

Sure. I think I'm right on these: Flypast June 96, Aeroplane Monthly June 96, either Air Classics or Warbirds Int'l Nov 96, and I think EAA Warbirds 96 (don't know issue). No province mentioned, but somewhere remote in Canada's Northwest Territories.

Hey Mr. Rohr:

Just giving you a hard time. We are open minded, so just tell us what you think without over doing it.

Hey boys,

Calm down, make love not war (errr, not to each other :shock:

).

Good to hear about your plans for the Lincoln Rob, I hope you succeed in bringing her back.

Cheers

Cees :roll:

The question is, if something is overly explained like your in the 2nd grade how long can it be tolerated? Ah well, maybe that's for a psychology or social sciences discussion board. Anyway..

Hi all

Whilst on the subject of mass P39 strandings perhaps you are aware that a mass incident happened in Australia during WW11 on the Northern coast of Queensland when a couple of dozen p39s went down on their way to PNG. Most crashed on beaches or close in on the coast. Two survived to be restored and one is now being rebuilt again at Wangarratta to fly and the other is with Sid Becks collection here in Queensland. A lot of people have gone after these wrecks over the years and a buried one was dug up - very corroded - a few years back on a beach.

Any lurkers out there have any more information on any other survivors.

Kindest regards

If I am correct, a few force landed on an Island.
