WW11 Aircraft In Forest

Rob68: I’m with you now.

Resolution for 2018: pay more attention. And not get upset if I misspell something and get picked up by other people because it’s good to give and receive a bit of light-hearted mickey-taking.

:dev2:

Saberjet, yes they were away fixtures, I think they started in the 1970’s in a galaxy far far away 😉

Wreck/crash site investigation does not have to be a duplicate of archaeology of old buried sites, generally thats a waste of effort where air crashes are concerned.

I couldn’t agree more.

Yay. Love the irony of that last post. Oh LOL.

perhaps people would prefer nothing posted except proof red items, then the other stuff would disappear and we would be missing news or gossip? This is a newsgroup not a paid for publication so give folks a break, not everyone has time or the knowledge to get every ref correct. Its rather a downer to add an item here and get battered by a storm of nit picking, everyone has to start and we should engage and encourage those who show a willing to stop lurking and add a post. This place has sadly a reputation for harshness to posters and opinions which are not in line with the majority.

Gary…former AAA researcher.

Well I thought we were coming up to No.3, but I missed the others: were they away fixtures?

Come on you lot, did you miss round 3 to 10? Do keep up

I expect the aircraft has been identified in the past, and is documented somewhere ? If aviation archaeologists were interested in the site,
they’ve had 70 odd years to carry out any investigations.

Or a B2, or worst of all, photographed by a U2 (presumably with Bono on board).

I understand the bomber was shot down by a Spitfire Mark 2 or perhaps a p.40…or was it an p51? 🙂

[EDIT: Oh…Sabrejet beat me to it…noticing the 11/II and III/111 issues. And I thought I was so clever…]

On New Year’s Eve…still, where I live…I just can’t help myself, but I encourage all to take this in a lighthearted way (or, what the hell, get bent out of shape by it, if that’s what makes you happy).

The name of this thread? World War Eleven Aircraft in Forest. The type of aircraft found, according to one poster? A Heinkel Three.

Thank goodness we won World War Eleven. Thank goodness those bombs raining down on Liverpool from Heinkel Threes didn’t have my mother’s name on them. There must still be boatloads of relics around from World Wars I through XI! This forum is set for content for many years to come, I’d say.

This calls for a pair of emojis. For those who find this 11 vs II and III vs 111 referencing to be lighthearted teasing on New Year’s Eve or now Day::very_drunk: . For those who are stuffed shirts::( .

Happy New Year to each extreme, and everyone in-between.

Yeah id say it took a hard hit! The story of my favourite Hurricane R4118 got me wondering! Then that story of the p40 they found in the desert

There would be a lot I think.Looks like the Heinkel hit hard and disintegrated..No real archeological aspect,just upend everything to find things of value..No mapping of site or documentation taken.They werent even looking for data plates..

Things like this always make me wonder how many things like this and the complete fw190 they found in the woods are still out there!

World War Eleven and a Heinkel 3?? WTF?

They were looking around the crash site of an He III. I don’t see a problem. Over the years the site has no
doubt been stripped of anything interesting. It’s apparently not a war grave, so is now a pile of scrap metal.

Treasure hunters..
