wrecks from Pachino (Sicily)

4 Attachment(s)

Some italian researchers have found in the area of the former Pachino airfield (southern tip of Sicily) two metal artifacts coming from aircraft.

Inside the first one the number 18096 is readible. Because a Bf.109G-6 trop with this wr. nr. was found in good conditions at Comiso by Allied troops, could this piece come from a Bf.109G-6?

The first three pictures show the same part.

Thanks

Gianandrea

Hello!

Where was situated this airfield in relation to Pachino? No obvious location on Google earth...Would you have an aerial photo?

Thanks!

No, I haven't any aerial photo.
You may find a picture of the remains of the field here:

The cohordinates 36°42'56.48"N 15° 4'33.17"E will lead to the north boundaries of the (former) field.

I think the item with the possible werkno is a wingroot cover.
