Getting worse, latest news..

Thieves are already at work
With sadness and anger we get the news from our friends living in the oasis of Baharya, that in the only weekend 18/19 May 2012, arrived at the oasis three cars (not SUVs) with four persons each and that they have asked around to be taken to the P40.

Moreover they have paid an amount equal to three times the cost of a standard 4x4 excursions in the desert.

It seems that these "looters" have already taken steps to remove pieces and parts of the wreck.

We have been told that these "looters" had with them, the geographic coordinates of P40 bought from...... "someone".

We are convinced that Mr. ………. (self declared the discoverer of the wreck of the P40 who irresponsibly prematurely published the news of the find,
who has sold photos, movies and aircraft position, to the press agency is the one of the responsibles for the carnage that will be made of the wreck of the P40.
