Re: Archeology / identification

Gilles

I am pleased that you have identified the aircraft and pilot involved.

Just to clarify - I didn't identify the aircraft type from books or websites but from quite a few (40!) years experience recovering and handling this stuff!

Having dug more than a few of the 109 bulkhead armour plates out of the ground, and been on the periphery of various restoration projects, it wasn't very difficult to identify straight away that you were dealing with an Me 109.

Pleased to have been of assistance.
