Dutch P-40 PH-CUR

In June 1999, there was a P-40 registered in the Netherlands. I think it may have been registered to Duck of Brabent Air Force, but I am not shore. Can anyone shed some more light on this?

Dutch register at scramble.nl shows that the registration wasn't used and removed on April 26, 2001.

They certainly rock, but not quack

I believe a Dutch group (Don't know the name of the org.) was looking for a P-40 in West Papua 4 years ago to rebuild. Could this be it.

You really know how to ruin dyslexics confidence, by taking the mick out of there spelling. I try SO hard to get my [url]spellings right[/url].

That was a project by the MLM =Militaire Luchtvaart Museum (=military aviation museum) based at Soesterberg. The had found a P-40 in a lake and there were even underwater photo's showing the windscreen and a panel they recovered. Due to the political situation (does this ring a bell) the project was halted as far as I know.
