Gentlemen,

The report of the examination of the wreckage, which was taken from the battlefield, leaves us with little hope that it will be easy to find a trace of it on the battlefield. Fuselage and lower wing were taken away. Which makes the idea of an upside down crash very serious.

Can the report really be taken seriously ? I've heard that it now is generally accepted as being genuine.

Also there remains the question of aerial photo recon, there is a report existing from the next day that the wreck was spotted. 57 Sqdn if i'm not mistaken ? It was just near the front line, so (aerial) photo's might be a possibility, I have a number of people looking for them.

Has anyone ever seen a photo of the wreck itself ? So close to the frontline, and from such a fmous ace, one should expect that they exist.

This kind of material might give us an idea what to expect at the crash site.
