Apparently it had a problem with its FRONT undercarriage! [-x

Must be a different mark of P40 to the normal ones! :-o

Great!

It's discovered, and then the
locals start stripping it for
"Souvenires".......

X( X( X( X( X(

I think maybe the locals ought
to be "stripped" for "souvenires"
as well!

This does seem to be the rarest
P-40 of all, what with its one-of-
a-kind NOSEWHEEL and everything :p

It's NOT a NOSEWHEEL, it's the FRONT UNDERCARRIAGE! :p
