Re: Unidentified German fighter crashsite in France
I got the box with relics from the gentleman. It is great material . Very puzzling though. There are some factory numbers available such as 415, 417 etc... and a heraldry in some spares that shows BA (possibly Bacher flugzeug Werke?) . There are larger uncorroded aluminium pieces that remind of a FW190 , but nothing positive at this point. There are electrical devices, such as wires, a plug, a little knob with looks like a part of the MG electrical connection (red wires and screws are still there ) . There are also parts of the fuselage with RLM 65 (blue) and other which have to be confirmed but look like darker green , dark brown (interior of the cockpit) , black (codes and crosses) and curiously one small part with RLM 2 (grey) .That part could have been used as a repair spare. There are several spars and parts of the fuselage, also a piece of a 5mn armored plate that was probably behind the pilot seat. Also something that looks like a small battery , a very small part of the hood. I am comparing these parts with a cutaway , but the pieces are very small and corroded so it is hard to clean them without losing what's left of the original paint. As soon as I get a millimeter of paint I can mostly tell whether it's outside or inside , fuselage or not etc... Some of the aluminium I have is shinig like it was cast recently, other parts are corroded to the point that it falls apart when you touch it. I am still thinking about a 1942 FW190 but it could be later and I still haven't abandonned the idea of a ME109.
