Just saw this thread and thought I would add mine.

Here is my Ju-88 tail section recovered in North Africa. A knowledgeable collector indicated previously that, based on the information plate attached to the interior part of the tail section, it came from a JU-88 A11, which I understand to be a "tropicalized" version of the JU-88 (which fits nicely with the North Africa connection).

As a side note, this tail was spotted by a police officer as he was driving his patrol car through a residential neighborhood. The tail was in a trash bin on the side of the road waiting for trash pick-up day. (One can only wonder all the great stuff that has not been saved and just thrown away.) The officer knocked on the door and an old gentlemen indicated that the tail section had been picked up by his brother in North Africa. His brother had died the prior week and he was cleaning out all of his stuff. The officer asked if he could take the tail section and the old gentlemen agreed.

This tail Henshel Hs-126 - have brought in a place of reception of scrap metal some day ago ....

Here's one to add. American Roundel broght back after WWI. Trying to figure out what plane it might be. Best guess with measurements is a SPAD VII, probably crashed or scrapped at Toul after the war. Would be lower left wing section. Was brought back in a foot locker and folded over on iteself.

Here is one that I missed. It now resides in Peter Jackson's collection. Upper wing section of an Austrian seaplane brought back from the Italian theater after WWI. Was found on an Austrian airfield after the war by a Navy pilot (Navy Cross winner) The section was under a guys bed (!) in a cardboard box for 20 years before he decided to sell it!!!

That looks like a Bf 109 tail section to me Pitomnik, a great find, how about some more details of your find...

Many thanks

Bob

[Leroy]

Looks like virtually the entire tail/rudder/stabilizer assembly. Nice find.

Where's the rest of the aircraft?

[tmca05]

very nice piece of "scrap metal". Send it to the United States and I'll buy it.

Do you know anything about the rest of the airplane ? There has to be more were that came from.

[JackHun]

I agree with Pitomnik that it's from a Henschel, I also first thought of a Bf109 like Bob but I think it something much rarer. Fantastic with the original paint - congrats to Russia!
