This item is without doubt a starboard Spitfire aileron and begs the question where did it come from and are there anymore parts to go with it.

At worst this was from a belly landing.

Not the best pic, but img013.jpg may be the overwing nacelle panels.

Images 2,6 and 7 could be part of the u/c framework of a Bristol Beaufighter.

Maybe these images might help

One shows the position of the fuel cover.

Following the finding of the crewmember names by local researchers, the aircraft crashed at Gusano has been identified:

Beaufighter Mk VIII MM 935 414 NFS, posted missing during a mission over North Italy on 18 november 1944.
