OK-What's the story here?

Looks like a N1K2 Shiden-Kai.

I assume around Japan?

I bet that is not what you were looking for or you already new that?

R-E-R=W-R-O-N-G!! (that sorta hums!!)
Tim is correct is a late model low wing N1KGeorge.
I think I know which this is but keep quiet for a while.

There's no doubt it's a George (heck, even the filename says so... )

Is it this one?

This is Ens. Muto's George shot down by Lt. Roger Applegate in a F6F-5.

Great article on this George in an old 'After the Battle' magazine around 20 years ago. It has been cleaned up and is on display.
