German 109 parts?
1 Attachment(s)
Found these parts (see attachment) at a crashsite east of former airbase Y-29 in Zutendaal, Belgium. Anybody familiar with 109 parts? Anything recognizable? Thanks.

Doesn't look like a Bf 109, at least for the 2nd part.
Background story may help. ClinA-78 |

This research started as follows. In several books and publications about the Bodenplatte action above the Y-29 airfield, American pilots give a description about the location of some German crashsites. For example in “The Bluenoser” Vol. VIII-No 1 February 1994 (352nd Fighter Group Association) on p. 3: “My first burst brought hits from nose to tail, and the A/C rolled over from about 500ft., and went straight in less than ˝ mile east of the field.” So with this information I went searching and found an interesting location on an aerial picture from 1945. And the PDF-files in this thread are the results of the detection. I have to say that very little was found at the spot. But the ground is certainly disturbed here. A big hole was dug. So I assume the site was investigated with the help of big machines (in the WWII period). Hereby attached some more parts.

Apparently the parts seem NOT to be of German origin. As they are most certain coming from a plane with a combination of wood and metal structure, it is more likely that they belonged to Mosquito MV570. As this aircraft made an emergency crash-landing at 1km from the find-location.
