Debris of unkown aircraft
 

Hello guys, I have uploaded some photos of few debris of an unknown allied aircraft found in Northwestern Greece. Sources say that the aircraft crashed between 1943-1944 and was one-manned (pilot was speaking English). Looking at the screws of the aluminium part it seems that the aircraft is of american construction (Philips screws). This part also contains an elastic piece which shows that it might come from the canopy area.There is also a small amount of the camouflage colour under the elastic part which seems to be RAF Olive Drab. Any ideas for the id of the aircraft?

One minor point: the RAF didn't have an Olive Drab, at least under that name. Olive Drab was a USAAF colour, though it could come in a variety of shades. The closest RAF equivalent was Dark Green. Although this had an olive hue, the two colours should be distinguishable. However, as these appear to be interior parts, the colour is likelier to be one version of Interior Green (a number of different names exist) from a US aircraft, the RAF equivalent being the much lighter Grey Green.

Some more photographs that might make the recognition easier. Locals say crewmembers were two, one piece found with "LORD" stamp on it (Lord Manufacturing), plane probably was big due to huge (for the era) landing gears.

PS To the Moderator team: Forum has got serious problem with abnormal error message when trying to upload hyperlinks or images from other sites (eg imageshack) making it really hard to share what you want... I don't know if I am doing something wrong btw.
