Bodenplatte relic
 

New in my Bodenplatte related items collection, a FA-16 Fernantrieb (Control remote for the FuG radio):
http://www.cdvandt.org/D-Luft-T-4008...FA16-FBG16.pdf


Found in a Belgian flea market with a period attached label reading:
"Debris d'avion allemand abattu le 1.1.45 a (unreadable) Rodebeek"

I have a firm candidate for the identity of the crash but I want to see if you reach to the same conclusion to confirm.
What's could be the, unreadable to me, word?

Thank you
Fran

Do you have any idea of the identity of the aircraft where it belonged to ?

Re: Bodenplatte relic
 

Yes, I have a candidate

Re: Bodenplatte relic
 

So which one?

ClinA-78

Re: Bodenplatte relic
 

First I'd like to hear the other's candidate to see if matches the mine in order to confirm, as I said in my first post.
If nobody, I will disclose it for comments.

Could be this plane?

Re: Bodenplatte relic
 

Perhaps the wrong way around. Perhaps tell this board what you think and have researched and your conclusion. If right: top shelf, if not you know why, and can continue on a different path.

OK, I think is from the Fw190A-9 WNr.750093 of IV./JG54, plane of the Gruppenkommandeur Maj.Rudolf Klemm but flown by Fw.Fridolin Bachhuber who was KIA-MIA.
The Diamant Avenue/Reyers Avenue given by Manrho/Pütz in his book is not far from Rodebeek Avenue, the place mentioned in the label attached to the relic.

I think I have located with the help of Google maps, the exact site.

Actually Fw. Bachhuber led the IV./JG 54 that day. Quite a successful newcomer.....unfortunately still MIA as no known grave....

Hello John,
surelly not much remained of the unfortunate Fw.Bachhuber; he might be buried in-site in this backyard.
