  1. My father did that during World War II, recovering crashed aircraft in the Sahara and ferrying them back to Khartoum to be rebuilt. Often one "good" aircraft would be rebuilt from the parts of two or three wrecks. I wrote about it in more detail here:

    1. Probably a British Hawker Hurricane. Wing root is too thick for a Spitfire.

      British trucks, that appear to have "RAF" on the side.

    That was a fantastic read. Your father is a good man.

  5. Tried to use the "Reply" feature to answer Tree Mike's question, but my reply wouldn't take. So, Tree Mike, here you go: it's not a P-40, it's a Hawker Hurricane.
