Warbird Information Exchange

So we recently (just now) identified the wreck of an A-3 variant off the coast of the Florida during the filming of a TV documentary. Now the producers are trying to find an expert that would be willing to look at the footage to provide an expert opinion in a brief interview segment. Any contacts would be greatly appreciated! They are on a very tight schedule, and we are currently working in New Smryna Beach but they are headed to South Florida tomorrow.
Thanks!
Cheers,
Mike

Thanks for the VFM heads up, I'm wanting to get into one for detail photos to build a model of a VQ-2 bird for my dad's bday.
