N.O.S. Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 What I find amazing is that it hasn't been sandblasted totally bare - usually anything in the desert gets blasted very quickly. Perhaps it only landed a few years ago.........:shocked:....:shocking: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian Barrell Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 There is desert and there is desert..... some parts have so little loose sand that stuff lays uncovered for decades, other parts get covered overnight! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruxy Posted May 11, 2012 Author Share Posted May 11, 2012 Sand sea , covered / uncovered my moving dunes - but then it should be full of sand. I would have expected the paint & instruments etc. to be more sand blasted after 7 years - strange ? Must be in a area that has little / no wind ?
