Remi - you're absolutely correct in what you're saying in your quote above. It does look as though it crashed just last month. Therin lies the problem. Take a really good look at that engine.. I have been to many crash sites & seen the remains of quite a few Jumo engines. I'm telling you - this one ain't been sat out in the open for 60 years - or anywhere near that long..

In particular - look closely at the brightmetal of the camshafts - exposed to ice snow & rain for decades - these would certainly be badly corroded by now.

....it's a good hoax though. Made me chuckle :0) atb richard.
