Re: A/C Crash Site in Spain (Sierra Nevada, possibly post WW2)

Thanks for the continuing responses...

No, Mt. Pani is definitely a long distance away from my site.
Also, meanwhile I've got a response from USAF (see below).
Here are the approximate geo coordinates of my crash site. 'Approximate' because I didn't have GPS with me and figured them out on GOOGLE EARTH.
Should be in this range:
N 37Ί 02‘ 48‘‘ / W 03Ί 19‘ 09‘‘ to
N 37Ί 02‘ 25‘‘ / W 03Ί 18‘ 50‘‘ (marked by 2 red A/C on the attached Google Earth screen print)

I also examined some debris and opened up an olive painted cylindrical object (servo?, instrument?)
to find inside a motor with following inscription:
Inertia Motor
Type No 2ET-123-M2
Ser No 18606
John Oster Mfg Co, Racine, Wisconsin

Meanwhile I also received a pdf.file by courtesy of USAF HQ AFSC/JAR concerning (my?) C-124 crash.
It says that C124C 52-980 en-route from Moron Air Base to San Javier Airbase crashed at
N 37Ί 05‘ 30‘‘ / W 03Ί 18‘ 18‘‘ (= N 3705.5 W 0318.3)
‘killing a crew of 8.
This geo location is quite a distance - some 3.5 miles to the North - the crash site I found. Strange ...
bye,
FrankieS
