P-40 found in the desert

Found this over at the OFF forum on Combat Ace. Not a lot in the way of explanation, but ghostly photos are crisp and clear.

More at the NewsHawks forum (http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/showthread.php?65686-Real-or-Fake-P-40-found-in-the-Sahara), including links to photos and video footage.

From an Air Accident perspective, the photos look authenthentic. Quite a few items show it is not a 'put up job' as suggested in some links/forums.

Wonderful preservation. Poor chap.

Thanks, Hairyspin, for pointing to the Newshawks. It does flesh it out a bit, doesn't it?

I, too, would hate to think this was some sort of coarse hoax, but it really does not seem to be.
