Country:  | Unknown fuselage part
I got this fuselage panel from a friend. He wrenched it off an aircraft lying discarded somewhere on the Danish Army's training grounds at Oksboel. He couldn't tell me much about the aircraft other than it must be a jet, since it was
"kinda tubular".. My guess is F-84, F-100 og F-104, since the RDAF operated these. The holes are from rifle caliber bullets, so maybe it has been used as target practise. Does anybody know which aircraft type it belongs to? |

Country: | Numbers on reverse
Just below the inspaction hatch are a few, grouped together; in a circle ANA T84, above that 165 31062 and above that ASSEM. To the left of this group is printed 479 in slightly larger numbers. Any clues? I can post a closeup if necessary.. | |

Country: | From what you're telling me it seems that might be an F-86D part. Does the stamp look like this? 
F-86Ds had part number prefixes 164,165,173,177,190,201

I'm guessing that the 479 is the panel number. If you could find an F-86D panel chart or even a very detailed decal sheet for an F-86D you might be able to find out where it went. I'll do some more research and let you know what I find.

| Damn FlyBoyJ you're pretty good! I remember, from my youth, an aviation magazine that had a segment in it called "Identify This Airplane". They would show a closeup of a scoop or a hatch or something and you'd have to guess the plane. I could usually I.D. 90% of the planes but this is beyond that!
Wow! | |
