Based on the picture above, I doubt anything will be salvageable, but just having it will allow the restorer to use its airframe number on a recreation, and it will be considered "restored". I'm happy with that, another P38 in the air is fantastic. The Hamilton aviation museum close to hear flies a Lancaster up and down the coast of the lake in the summer, its a gorgeous sight. Sometimes it is flying with their Harvard, too.
I wish they could find a few Mitsubishi Zeros somewhere, I always liked those aircraft, and from what I understand, there are only a few flying, and only one with its original Sakae engine. The rest now fly with Pratt and Whitney radial engines. I was at the Yasukuni shrine in Tokyo this summer, and there is a Zero in the main entrance way. Gorgeous. If only I could see one in the air...
