Excellent Jarret, you are really making those shredded pieces of metal come to life. Keep it up.

Many of those pieces show180 degrees of tear. The small pieces make it obvious it was a high speed crash, but the wide range of tearing is pretty good evidence the aircraft must have literally gone straight, in nose first.

Thank you Jay! Yes these pieces show the severity of the crash very well. While I was doing research on this specific crash, I found two other collectors that were also searching for the same information. They were members of a aircraft dedicated forum, and they actually found a photograph of the pilot. I cant view the photo unless im a member, so I applied to be a member. Hopefully I can get a hold of that photo, and share it with you soon. Thanks for the support Jay!!
Best regards- Jarret

Thank you Anderson! I find it quite interesting to research these aircraft relics. The story they tell is amazing.
Best regards- Jarret

What puzzles me are the remains of the ADb.16. The Adb.16 was part of the FuG17 radio installation used in reconnaissance aircraft. The Bf 109 F2 at the time was fitted with the FuG VII installation, the ADb.16 can not have come from a F2.

Wow, very good eye Funksammler! You are very right. The ADb.16. was specifically designed for reconnaissance aircraft such as the HS126 and FW189. It doesn't make sense finding this part within a group of Bf 109 F2 parts. I only have a few ideas as to how this happened. After my house flooded in Hurricane Harvey, I tried to pack up my collection to the best of my abilities. Perhaps I accidentally packed this piece into this group of Bf 109 F2 parts during the commotion. I have a large box of random Luftwaffe relics that I try to keep separated from the groups of confirmed crash site pieces that I have in my collection. Also, maybe this was an error on the sellers end. The seller I got this group of Bf 109 F2 parts from has found MANY other crash sites, and it is possible he sent this by accident with the other parts. I thank you for catching this error! I will remove this part from the group now.
Best regards- Jarret
