Me Bf 109 F- recovery

Last saturday we recovered the remains of a Messerschmitt Me Bf 109 near Schifferstadt/Germany.

Eyewitnesses told us that the aircraft crashed in October 1944 and the pilot was killed. His body was still in the wreckage.

During the recovery we found out, that the remains and the body of the unknown pilos were removed, probably not to long ago after it crashed.

We only found fragments in about four meters deep.

Tere were two plates we found. Is there an expert who can help to identyfy this aircraft ?

Best wishes

PS: There are a lot of recovery-photographs on my facebook-page.
