Thanks for the outstanding aerial view. Many WWII abandoned airframes in New Guinea that looked beyond hope have also been rescued and restored. Although not airworthy, this rare one is worth saving to be displayed in a museum.

Cool picture. After more than 50 years, still looking repairable. It looks as if it wants to eat all fish in the lake.

You could use it as a boat house.

At first sight I thought this was a highly original "Boat House"!. Still in amazing condition after all this time. Pity no one has put together a rescue plan for this rare bird, or have they?. Big B.
