Does anyone have records of a possible Bf109-G, or possibly K loss near Jalhay, Belgium? The aircraft crashed into woods near the Barrage de la Gileppe dam.
In 2015 we recovered what remains were left on site. Though evidence suggests she came down in a dive, the site must have been cleared over the decades since the crash.
The deepest spot was around 70 to 100cms. In 40 years I never worked a crash-site with such an amount of small fragments, nothing was bigger than a hand.
Some observations:
The pilot very likely did not bail out. Though no human remains were found, some leather fragments, a part of a boot heel, a button and part of the service pistol were recovered.
Ammo found was 13mm (all dated 1940), 20mm with possible fragments of a single 30mm.
Foil and scraps of American rations were found in the crater, indicating that US troops possibly visited the site.
Lastly, in the middle of all the wreckage was part of the handle of a German Stielhandgranate (Stick Hand Grenade), which looking at the damage, was in the aircraft at the time of crash.

I have a feeling this aircraft might have come down during Operation Bodenplatte, but I cannot find a matching loss.

If anyone has a loss that could fit this scenario, please let me know. I would like to put this case to rest.
