I last saw her in 1979 at Almaden, though only a twisted rear fuselage left and instrument panel and other cockpit pieces.

Found the answer myself. B25 Aileron trim indicator and I think from Mitchell 41-12920

What aircraft does this trim ( assuming rudder) indicator come from? Had it over 40 years when I was collecting warbird parts but forgot how I got it.

That is certainly it. Fantastic work thank you, and drawings as well.

Ok thanks, much appreciated

Did you establish that part number with the B24 ?

This aircraft part dug up from the WW2 Nadzab airfield, possible a firewall forward Part. There is a part number on one photo I hope can help.

Ki 46 (Dinah) ? I took all of these photos in 1976 and unfortunately with a cheap camera.

Yes your correct Ki49 thanks and I remember now after googling it It had a Codename Helen

Sorry I know the Madang wrecks have been done a lot but maybe these are different views. Note the vegetation changes so quickly with maybe long grass, bushes etc that taking photos can be difficult. First photo is a G3M (Nell) and second Ki 45. Please feel free to better identify or correct

The Razorback is well under way in its restoration to fly again in USA. The Mitchell I don,t know but saw a photo of it dismantled lying behind the Razorback

Photo of the Girua Mitchell (1981) and sitting to its left the wellknown Razorback.

Thanks so much for that info. It's been a long time wondering about it. It was strange that after 30 odd years when I picked up this spanner ( it was just sticking out of newly bulldozed ground) and other aircraft parts, they were in such good condition and only very minor surface corrosion...

More pics of West New Britain Mitchell

Thanks for info. Was hoping the whole aircraft might be flying, but some better then nothing. Just for general info it wasn't too far from this Mitchell. I have more photos if anyone interested.
