Alan Stevens came in to work today he is the patrol officer who found KI-61 No640.
It had no canopy as it was removed before the crash.
The tail fin is on kermits Tony.
Alan had the photo's with him the guns still had the amo in them.
Charles darby has the negatives as they (wern't returned).
I think one of the picks is in his book.
Someone flogged the instrument panel.
The pilot walked back to Taji.
