That was it till now, we have only just begun to search.... The site is 450 meters from our farmhouse....
I need a good metal detector (I bought mine for 45€ on ebay, bad stuff)... Any good ideas?
Next search will probably be this sunday...
Roman, will you post the pictures in the other website or should I (I haven't registered there yet, but that wouldn't be a problem)
Thanks
Michael
Zum Befehl: pics resized and posted there.
Yes. Let the dogs sleep untill you dig it out all and then you tell us more about the crash site location...
Yep thats about it
The forrest is very steep and totaly viewable from the road above.
Thats the stupid part about the site, almost everybody that saw us searching (about 10) stopped and wanted to know what we were doing, just out of curiosity. I said we were looking for the water pipeline leading to our house...
I doubt most believed us.
There was another crash site where a twin engined aircraft was involved just north of us. There seems to be more information about that one. The aircraft came in low trailing smoke, dropped its ordnance (seemingly about 4-6 small bombs) in a row over fields and forrest, then crashed into the hill. That crash site was directly next to a farm about 1,5 klicks away from us.
I don't know how much was salvaged there, but chances are most of the plane went into the ground (farm land).
Our crash site was filled with trees to the time, most of them over 100 year old beech and ash trees. I have absolutely no expierience with how a crash site in a forrest looks like. Most of the pieces we found are pretty torn up.
I still need ideas to a good metal detector...can anyone help?
I will take a look at the book....thanx Roman
I found something out on the net.... It looks like it could be our A/C...
B-24 Web Board
Its an old post from the year 2000 and very interesting because the fact that all crewmembers bailed out and were taken to Perg is the same as with our aircraft.
It seems that it was a brand new B-24 belonging to the 465 Gp, 782nd Sqdn
I already tried to contact the guy, will see if he's still kicking....
