Frozen in the sands of time: Eerie Second World War plane discovered in the Sahara desert... 70 years after it crashed

Pilot of the Kittyhawk P-40 was thought to have survived crash, but died trying to walk out of the desert

Aircraft was found almost perfectly preserved, unseen and untouched, after it came down in 1942

Historian describes find as 'an incredible time capsule' and 'the aviation equivalent of Tutankhamun's Tomb'

 This was at Barking Moonbat Early Warning System linked to the Daily Mail article. The Desert is conducive to preservation.

I hope that the remains of Flight Sergeant Copping are found and returned to surviving family for internment with full Militay Honours.
