| B-24 ?
Several plus years ago (in the 80's), my "employer" sent me into Libya for a few days "Holiday" to perform an attitude adjustment on some certain individuals who were causing some problems out in the Med. We were not to far from the Egyptian boarder. During our "visit, we came across the wreakage of a B-24. I know it was a B-24 because I've seen pictures of them and I"m absolutely certain on what it was. We explored it briefly due to that we had other pressing matters in which we were obligated to perform. Most of it was "sandblasted" from the desert storms but we could barely see a name on it. "L..dy b.....o.d". We looked for a serial number and the only number we could find was "41-124301". Over all condition looked good but there were pieces missing which I think was scavenaged by Nomads. I took a few pictures of it before we had to move on and I'll try and dig them out of my "Box of a million pictures" and post them. I tried to find some information a few years ago but never had the opportunity to dedicate a lot of time into it. Maybe some of you know of this plane ? Is it a post war crash ? Did it land there to be abandonded ? I heard back in the day that Oil Companies had bought a lot of surplus aircraft and were using them to survey the area. I don't know. |
