P-47 restoration status request

Thu Dec 29, 2005 10:21 pm

I was just thumbing through my Vol 40 # 5 issue of Air Classics and on page 9 I was reminded of the 3 P-47 Razorbacks that WestPac is restoring. I didn't find a website for them and I was wondering if anyone here knew what the plans are and how far along they are? Thanks

I'm guessing most eveyone dosen't recall the Razorbacks in question.

3 P-47D's recovered from burial pit in PNG.

AirFrames:
42-75284
42-22521
42-8074

Here's a blurb from Pacific wrecks

Thank in advance for any heads up in these aircraft.

There is a story and some pictures in the Warbirds International Jan 2006. I'm not sure if it is a rehash of the A/C Article.

Cheers,

Lynn
