Good for them! Although it looks to be in pretty harsh shape but I guess it will at least be put inside? maybe?

Can anyone identify the loss from the info given

LOCKHEED AIRCRAFT BURRANK CORP CALIFORNIA SERIAL NO : 1911040 ASSEM NO : 248722


Thanks Paul

so probably someone here can better answer this than me but according to what I see according to Baugher it is a P-38L with a tail code between 43-50339 and 43-52225

Maybe earlier than that? Sure looks like a painted-out meatball in the center of the star:

Perhaps Lockheed F-5A-3-LO Lightning, 42-12772 scrapped at Espiritu Santo, New Hebrides Jun 15, 1944?

Um, you know, I'd love to have it. IF it were a T-6, C-47, or TBM, not so much. However it is many bits and pieces of a combat vet P-38. Maybe they can use it as a basis of a static display incorporated with a lot of fibreglass. It's much better than just a data plate and research material.
