I’m not saying it isn’t real, only that I’d really expect that it would have been found (or stripped by the locals) by now.
The internet is home to a lot of people with seemingly nothing better to do than make phoney discoveries.
Sorry, until proof arrives, I’m skeptical.
And in that vein, I’d ask why the photographer didn’t take a photo with his friends alongside..or park his truck a bit closer to the wreck…and post those as well to help prove authenticity. In this day and age, anyone would have known there would be doubts about such a find.
I too am sceptical!
But, let’s look at the evidence a la Through The Keyhole:
1. Photos 1, 2, 3 look fake. And if they are not fake then they are crap photos. Who stumbles across a crashed aeroplane and takes a shot like photo 1? I reckon we are looking at a fairly small scale model.
2. Photo 4 looks real, but could and I repeat could, have been done by a modeller. I reckon it was, albeit on a much larger scale. It looks suspiciously set up if you ask me, perhaps over detailed, like with the shattered perspex pieces. I don’t like the bullet holes either.
3. Photo 5 looks the real deal and you can see the same terrain through the windscreen if you change the screen contrast.
So, did someone have a genuine cockpit photo and feel like messing around with an airfix kit? People are saying that modellers couldn’t be that good, but they are the ones who know all the details. I have the feeling that these could be traced back to someone’s kitchen table.
