Just found this while reading something else.

The plane was flown by the Canadian Ace of Aces with 19 kills. He is still alive. The pilot who crashed was ferrying the plane for repairs.

Thanks for the link to the additional article on the Sahara P40 link at post 22

Among the group’s treasures is its “Stocky Edwards Kittyhawk P-40,” which was acquired from New Zealand but restored and painted to match the markings of Edwards’ principal aircraft during the Desert War: a fighter plane identified as RAF 260 Squadron’s HS-B.
