Wonder if they'll sue Northrop Grumman for this?

no, Italy is not like the UK or US, we don't do ridiculous sues..

joking aside, I find the find pretty fascinating, but we also have to appreciate that these folks might not give a damn about P-47s and that the damage done is substantial. Let's hope that some association or museum will take care of the wreck now!

AFAIK these folks are covered by insurances anyway, so they will eventually be fine.

Talking of sea recoveries, I'm really looking forward to see what's gonna happen with the Do-17 they need to recover, that's gonna be quite a challenge.
