Hi Dan, It wasn't you but a warbird broker. When I asked if the lot came
with a clear title of ownership or should I worry about men in dark glasses and no sense of humor appearing at my door in the middle of the night asking questions while twirling handcuffs I never heard from him again. But, I did get all those nice pictures!

I remember reading an interesting account by someone tasked with recovering WW2 era wrecks from a California island. As I recall the best of the aircraft also an F6F was located near the nesting site of some kind of seagull or lizard and the Navy had to fly out a civilian enviromentalist to make a judgement on recovery. His decision was no. Wonder if that aircraft is still there?

That was related in Roy Stafford's account of restoring the ex Pima F6F for Pensacola in Classic Wings a few years ago.

The repair is still visible...
