Since me and other friends happen to be involved in WW2 aircraft archaeology and due to the remote location of the crash site I think we will give it a go this year, I will keep you posted on the results. Culmea Neagra should be easy to find as beneath it there is a cave which is often researched by speleologists.

Hi muggs,
Werknummer shall read 501326 and I cannot find the Culma Neagra some 9km n/w of Toplet on any map or desription (translated)......
