I have heard from a......scource.??? that there is supposed to be a PV-2 Harpoon in New Guinea....setting in some remote jungle area....complete airframe with turrets intact...


Your source might be thinking of this PV-1 abandonned at Talasea and still largely intact (though the turrets appear missing).

As a Burbank, CA resident I always wondered what Lockheed's manufactures dataplate looked like. Since I would guess this aircraft was manufactured at the Burbank plant could you post a picture of the plate if it's not too much trouble?

There were two data plates on our Harpoon and one is missing. Here is a shot of the one plate. The other one, the MAA plate, was mounted just below and you can see the screws and where it used to be.

Cool how it clearly says Factory A right on top

One Navy contract AN-104 VHF antenna back where it is supposed to be.

Fantastic. Any chance we can see a pic of what it looks like from the outside?

Thanks Taigh! I really like that layout and how they did mention the location it was manufactured.
