'Unknown' Bf 110 recovered in Belgium!

Hello,

I had the pleasure to manage my 11th recovery, on the 8th August : a Bf 110 G-4 crashed South of Binche at Buvrinnes (Belgium).
The dig was monitored, for the first time in Wallony, by the archaeological service of regional government, following a long administrative procedure.

Unfortunately, for more than 10 years, I was unable to ID this particular crash which remains unidentified up today : http://forum.12oclockhigh.net/showth...ghlight=Binche.

We found nearly nothing of the aircraft (no wings, no fuselage, no cockpit, etc.)... just a great DB 605B (WNr. 37447), laying at 3,5 m depth, virtually intact, with an unique (never seen?) cover plate showing some unknown/strange data's. For instance, does "3606" point to a WNr. (it is quoted 3rd times) ?
Some marking on the crankcase showing "8.2.44", perhaps the manufacture date?

I guess this is a case of material loss with crew escaping by chute.

I know there are specialists of DB's products so I hope WNr.37447 will release its secret deeply buried for more than 70 years...

Now, Some holidays well deserved. Keep posting, I will reply in the following weeks.

Thanks of your attention.

Enjoy!
