Re: stamps on an aircraft parts: does it come from a Junkers88 ?

Hi Harrison,

yes I did find other parts and you will see them on the pictures.

If it is German, it is definitely a Junkers88 since it is the only type of German aircraft that went down in this remote area,

BUT:

in the same area, in the 70's, a Mirage V crashed as well.

so, the question becomes :

do these parts come from a JU88 or a Mirage V ?

the airframe parts inclined me to go for JU88 but the small red condensator in the last picture is definitely more "Mirage like" . (it is much more recent)

maybe the two aircraft crashed on the same site ? (quite incredible..)

What do you think ?? Thanks for your opinion on this maze..

GC
