Finds at the crash site of B-17G 42-31473
One of the poor Forts crashed around my born town.
We did a expedition in the woods today. Look at the finds and enjoy!
The prop leaf was found 2 weeks ago by 2 local guys. There are still readable signatures of the mechanics on it!

Do you think there is more wreckage to be found there?

Hello, on this place for sure. This machine, like that one in Sanov, exploded in the air, so there are more places where still is something to be found. We will go back to this place next spring.

Nice finds Roman ! Some of the parts appear to have what looks like RLM 76 paint on them. Could some be from a Luftwaffe crate, as well as B17 ?

No Terry, only a Fort crashed there.
