Interesting picture to say the least! Looks like she's been sitting there a while. Maybe my eyes are playing their usual games with me, but doesn't it look like the grass has been mowed around the aircraft? Especially the nose/props and wing. Maybe it's the shadows but it kinda looks that way to me.

Odd,
this photo was not taken in Saipan or Iwo, but in Germany on the base of Eschborn near Franckfurt. The date is wrong, it is rather May 29, 1945, this version of the P47 (D-28 or D-30 depending on the source) did not exist yet, so 1945 is more correct. Here is a photo of the other side with the name "Lady Angela".

 
I agree. The May 1945 ... also the landscape doesn't look like the one of the Iwo or Sajpan island.

Pal, all is fine but If it would be the kite of the 392 FS/367 FG the colours on the tail tip would be different from the markings the crashed one has. The H5-W should have the three-colour marking like the one below. The A7-R has the marking different what indicates she belonged to the 395th FS, 368 FG. And certainly she wouldn't be wearing the A7-R code.

The Thunderbolts RAF service in the Far East is relatively unknown, even in the UK, and they all were destroyed at wars end.
