Re: New Ju88 wreck found
I am surprised we are even discussing this as a possible hoax!
Of course it isn't. I have been recovering wrecks like this for over thirty years. Why a hoax? I would suggest, though, that the engine has been removed to another location and given some careful attention. The grassy background and the grey blanket cover give the game away. I would suggest that the bright shiny bits have been exposed after the mag alloy corosion that would have been the rocker box covers and gear housing (there is no trace of this in the engine pic) has been removed. This is generally a white crystaline mass, and the metalwork beneath is often pristine - as here. If its a hoax I will eat MY hat! |
