Stinson

[ginamod]

Hi All,

a simple attempt to approach to a forgotten crash in Stubaier Alps, Tirol, Austria.
We have a part with big number 102, not engraved!
A former index told me to be a Stinson, now it would say p-51.
The front behind the prop shows clearly two cooling holes (openings). Never on a p-51.
Crash day, season, year, pilot unknown. Pilot survived, a proposal. No records. 2600 m height.
One witness told, that men carried down cigaretts and chocolates. Is there a homepage for Stinson friends ?

Where could I publish some debris of the plane, wher all can open it. ?
Thx for any suggestion.
I try to reach the crashsite, which is said to be "empty".
Best
