Downed Aircraft Group
I recently obtained a group of data plates and small skin bits (metal and cloth) from several aircraft downed over England. All are mounted to a piece of period plywood (1/4 inch thick). The plywood has an odd geometric design/pattern painted on one side. The paint colors appear to be German aircraft types (e.g., green 70/71 and RLM 02). Paper tags (also period) identify the aircraft as follows:
Ju 88 Partridge Green
He 111 Wyckham
He 111 Downs Steyning
Me 110 Washington
Me 110 Steyning
The plywood may be attributed to a Me 110.
Does this aircraft group suggest a pattern in time and/or region? Also, are there any ideas as to the possible use of the plywood on a Me 110. I would appreciate any further details.
Thank you,
Steve
