Ed,

Many thanks for your thorough explanation; I was really surprised too learn how many planes were thus discarded. It seems at first odd to have such quantities left over.
As for the difficulties identifying hulks, we're on the same line: I have the same issues with late war Bf 109's:-))

And you're most welcome for the pictures. The real credit for them goes to Paul alias Uscapturephoto, on Pixpast forum.
Cheers
Marc

Some more pics from Paul, but alas, no Ju 88!

This time we have Bf 109 F "NV+I?" (maybe "Z" for the last letter), unsure if this is Foggia Turturella.

Hs 129 B W.Nr. 0347, location unsure, Italy, 1943.
