Re: Hurricane excavation early 1980's Belgium
I read about the excavation in the newspaper at the time,after a bit of research I found the man who saw the crash as a young lad and he helped the Museum to the locaction.As reward he was given 2 machineguns(all black,both in good condition),an underwing flap(white painted,well preserved),one undercarriage leg without the wheel(silver,good condition)and a piece of upperskin from one of the wings(brown and green,the latter crudely overpainted with a lighter green with brush).He also had written down a few numbers(no serial number of the aircraft) a transmitter serialnumber,one of an hydrolyc pump and another one.He was not interested in this old metal and gave the lot to me,except for the Brownings.
