Post by: Massimo Tessitori on July 23, 2010, 04:45:44 PM Hi, some are particularly interesting. http://ktsorens.tihlde.org/flyvrak/pinemyra.html (http://ktsorens.tihlde.org/flyvrak/pinemyra.html) This was discussed at arcforum. The first impression is of a green/brown plane, but there is a dark grey band close to the aileron (in more or less standard position) that have turned into light grey and can be mismatched for aluminium. This type of deterioration of wrecks could explain why people thinks that Soviet planes were camouflaged as those of the RAF. http://ktsorens.tihlde.org/flyvrak/reingjerdvatnet.html (http://ktsorens.tihlde.org/flyvrak/reingjerdvatnet.html) Massimo |
