Re: More 34th Bomb Group B-24 relics
Ah, ye of little faith! Well two reasons ... i've also found the nissen hut fixings you mention and they tend to have hole in the centre (the B-24 in question actually crashed into a living site at Wattisham so there are actually lots of these nissen hut fixings around ..) and the second reason is that I actually found a complete section of flack jacket at Halesworth airfield in the late 1980s which still had many of the steel plates attached to the heavy canvas fabric. Unfortunately the flack jacket remains are at my parent's house ... but I will send you a photo when I next visit them ...
By the way, can I just say that although I've found lots of interesting bits and pieces I'm still extremely impressed with the finds you made at your airfield ... especially the toothpaste and shaving lotion items ... in all my years of searching I've never had the luck to locate such items ... and your flare pistol ... well that was really fantastic!!
