Thanks to both of you.

Another B 17 question : we found a zipper on this B17 crash site and I was wodering where - beyond the clothes of the crews - there were zippers. Maybe on some leather protections housing? where were they located in the A/C ? Thanks a lot and have a great Sunday Gilles

Hi everyone we are preparing an exhibition in Aeroscopia museum in Toulouse on the B 17 that crashed near Toulouse in June 1944 and we have found this part it looks like an oscillator, so, it would be in the radio, to tune the frequencies, if I am not wrong. Your opinion, gentlemen? Thanks Gilles

I found a nice repair on a Bf109 crashed in the South West of France. Skin probably damaged by a bullet,

Hi Martin the captive nut on the second picture does ring a bell to me, I found very similar ones indeed in Ju88 parts. It is not a formal proof (if you can find a part number, this will help) but it looks very much like a Ju88 .. best Gilles
