Received two scans of the a/c right after it burned out. Last night about midnight......
I can tell you the crew never had a chance, the wings are ripped off as well as the cockpit. What was left was a big section of the fuselage with the codes and the tail, part of it stuck in the ground. Top of the tail looked as though it hit some trees or a power pole as it is slightly damaged but the werke nummer can be read. Overall the a/c looks to be RLM 76 with no blothces of grey-violet over the top of the fuselage spine or tail surfaces. It landed evidently very hard into a bank and over a railroad crossing. The banke being some 40 feet or so high. When I get clearance to post these I will but we have asked the French to go for a walkabout for parts in the general area, the snow isn't so bad yet that they can do some excavating. The crew was posted missing for over 50 years until we came upon it 4-5 years ago.
My personal feelings is that there are quite a few MIA pilots/crews and a/c still lost somewhere in the thick forests of the Ardenne......rest in peace !
