World War II Fighter Plane

 A P40 Kittyhawk, found in the desert in a remote part of Egypt. Pretty neat, the plane crashed in 1942; apparently the pilot survived since there were no bones, uniform, etc found with the plane, which was mostly intact, even after 70 years! Though more than likely the pilot didn't survive the desert after leaving the plane. 
 The RAF Museum hopes to get this plane, the one they have was assembled from parts of other planes!
