Sad thought but many pilots didnt because of the vastness of the desert. I could be wrong but i dont think the RAF had a search & resuce for the desert because of the fluid nature of the war there.

I remember watching a war film years ago with P40's, it had a Tomahawk and a Kittyhawk in it. I'm gonna go hunt for it watch this space.

oh yes, everything is restorable, and that one is in remarkable conditions as well! In fact I wouldn't restore it, we already have flyable P-40s, considering how complete it is it would be nice to put it in a museum as it is, since a restoration would get rid of the original paintjob and panels.

Amazing! Thanks for sharing. I wonder what happened to the pilot? Great forced landing.

I also wonder just how many other well preserved wrecks there are in the world's deserts.

That's awesome!
