Re: 'NEW' UK bomber lost in Belgium?
Hello Danny,
In fact, I had never seen a crashsite like that before (I use to recover some wreckage for ten years)!
The bomber made a slight depression like a trench in the field (still visible). It crashed vertically. And, as the main witness told me (he is the land owner), engines and big structure parts are still in the ground for sure. The magnetometer indicates a huge signal on nearly 20 m of width.
Sure, it is a strange kinetic paradox as the cockpit pieces thought about a 'bad' crashlanding. Non-ferrous materials (bakélite, brass, copper, etc.) were found at +/- 30 cm deep, in a layer of burned ash (few - much corroded - aluminum parts were found). I think that the front fuselage was simply torn off. The dig would learn more...
Any bet on the type?
