Part of a JU 88?

[MartinWW2]

Hi All,

During a Hike in a forest in Belgium i've stumbled upon a aluminum part that looks like an aircraft part.

With some fast research i've found out that during ww2 a JU 88 had crashed in the area. Could this be part of this plane? Or is this to far fetched?

Thanks for the help!

It certainly is a piece of a crashed aircraft. The ID is tricky, but if you go and find the rest you might have something more recognisable.
Cheers

We have some Ju-88 parts in our museum, but your (crumpled) part doesn't look familiar to me. I know, that wasn't any help, but I wanted to reply anyway. Larry

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 ..
