Superb info Mike. Indeed could be part of the leading edge of a prop blade! I have lots of information about the many crashsites in the neighbourhood from several sources (also the local people stories). If it was a big Allied airplane I would have known by those sources. And the fact that the Y-32 RAF/USAAF airfield was just 1500m away from this crashsite, they probably would have made notice of an Allied crash in their documents (wich are all on microfilmreels), what they didn't. So, or the crash happened early in the War (which I doubt), or in the hectic period at the end of the War, when crashsites were not so well described, definitely not the Axis ones. Therefore I still believe in the possibility of a 109 (Bodenplatte 01-01-1945). I think 109’s also sometimes had wooden prop blades? Another possibility is that this crash is from an Avro 504K registration A-12 (Belgian Airforce training school) which crashed in this region on 17/12/21 (exact location not known)?
