This unique aircraft could be considered a barn find as it has never been operated as a civilian aircraft and is considered to be one of the most original P-40 aircraft in existence.
It was sold as surplus by the RCAF in 1946 and has only had 2 owners since then. It has never been flown as a Civilian Aircraft!
