Over the past few weeks, me and 381st digger have been digging a few of our favourite dump sites and have found some pretty decent stuff .... Below are a few of the items I've had time to take pictures of ... I'm sure Andy will be posting a lot of pics as well ....
First is a B-17 engine cowel panel ...
If anybody can illustrate the exact location of this panel I'd be grateful ...
Second item is what I think is part of the armour plate from the tail gunner's position of a B-17f ... when it came out of the ground it still had some of the padding attached which protected the gunner's head ...
Again, if anybody could confirm that this is what I think it is ...
The last item came out of an area producing lots of supercharger bits and pieces but which I cannot identify ... its probably B-17 related but I simply can't identify it ... any help would be appreciated!
Thanks ... and watch out for Andy's posts ... one of his finds is particularly spectacular!!
