Just posted in SurplusMilitaryAircraft@yahoogroups.com

Is this something new, or is this HELLDIVER's plane?

Derelict SB2C-4 Helldiver at former NAB Marpi Pt. (Where is that?):

Yes, you may need a Yahoo account. I don't want to post someone elses photo (since I don't know the owner), so I have e-mailed it to you directly.

Thanks for the photo!! When was this photo taken? to the untrained eye it looks like it is in pretty decent shape for sitting out for 60 years.

Yes it does look decent!
