Re: Archeology / identification
No, in respect of the piece you thought was a propellor part - although VDM made propellors and related equipment they made other parts as well.
The piece in your hand looks to me like quite thin magnesium alloy? Not a piece of propellor. Possibly a portion of wheel?
The dates on the ammunition make me think this is an early 1940 loss.
I realise that you may not want to give away the location, understandably, but a town or village it is near may give further clues to help make an identification - especially to someone like Peter Cornwell or Larry Hickey. However....if it is near Toulouse then this is a very long way away from where one might have expected such a loss during the Western Campaign of 1940! I am assuming what you have found is a long way from there?
Yes, I thought the tyre size sounded about right for a 109.
Thank you for confirming I was right!!! ;-)
Gilles - I think you tried to PM me? I have now cleared space for you to message me.
