Guys !

thanks for the input so far. i have to keep the whereabouts of these digs secret as there would be many relic hunters to disgrace the sites. The first one had many eye-witnesses to the crash back on 4/5 November 1944 over Belgium, a Ju 88G-6 and 3 man crew persiahed when shot down by a Mossie night fighter. The bodies have been removed as they were sverely burnt and my team found other personal objects 3 years ago and sent them back to the remaing family members. At the time one of the French team, and I was wrong in my posting last night......too tired to think.....
has two pics of the fuselage and tail which he backed his car over. The summer Brush which was overgrown last year and we could not find anything with metal detection has died down this fall, and wha-la ! presto we found remains of the a/c which we are hoping to remove in very small quantities for further inspection.
The next thing is my team has found 2 not 1 Bf 110's of NJG 1 and the Ju 88 of NJG 3, and details are coming to me soon which I will post.
Going back to the first Ju 88 again, with the eye witnesses and strange terrain, hilly and a creek runs through the area, it took my time and guess work to find the location, it also is joined closely by railroad tracks and this is where much of the a/c was scattered when it exploded and burned. The ammo was exploding when the folks tried to near the wreckage, and ran off scared until the wreck burned out.........more to come !
and Otto no there is no web-site and there will not be. All info will be sent to me and broadcasted here if you wish !
