Remi - you're absolutely correct in what you're saying in your quote above. It does look as though it crashed just last month. Therin lies the problem. Take a really good look at that engine.. I have been to many crash sites & seen the remains of quite a few Jumo engines. I'm telling you - this one ain't been sat out in the open for 60 years - or anywhere near that long..

In particular - look closely at the brightmetal of the camshafts - exposed to ice snow & rain for decades - these would certainly be badly corroded by now.

....it's a good hoax though. Made me chuckle :0) atb richard.

HI guys,

Not sure if that was the location it was found in. One of the trees is there to only hold up the tail, so I would not come to any conclusions due to the trees.

In these pics, everything has been cleaned already. And certainly it is an original tail section and engine.

As the info was sparse, it could have been simply a Ju88 tail, wheel, and radio items. I'll try to get more info and pics...

Paul Allen's Fw190 was found in Russia 15 years ago, and it had a LOT of original paint.
