Great shots! Thanks for posting them.
FYI: Photos numbered 4 thru 11 are of a Corsair's remains.

Concur mostly on the Corsair bits, but photo #10 looks like a TBF cowl ring.

Thats the problem with great pictures of aluminum bits in exotic locales. You crash the servers and the hosts want you to fork over for more bandwidth.

Consider it a compliment to your photographic skills and your subject matter.

I think its fixed and thank you

Is it just me or does it look like the pile of corsair parts, are maybe a left over parts dump? It looks as if they were once stacked up. they are great shape from what i see.

#9 wing panel may be from New York State, but it's not off an F4U,it looks more like Bethpage as in F6F-
can anyone I.D. the V-12 in photo #1 and what it might be off of as it's no ALLISON or ROLLER

[armyjunk2]

I believe I saw somewhere that the V12 is Japanese and from a Floatplane if that helps

5- Windsheild looks corsair. The canopy is early corsair with the fore/aft bars. Wing could be Hellcat.
6- Ammo can is possibly Corsair
7- Looks like Corsair Flap lower L/H

Great pile of Corsair, Hellcat and TBF parts among others.

Nice pictures. To bad these could not of been saved a long time ago!

[ZRX61]

I'll go with Grumman for pics #9 & #11.... & the tailwheel in #17?

I thought the same thing, "Too bad Tallichet or other couldn't have found them in the 1970s."

Photo 10 is definitely a Corsair rudder. Photo five shows a Corsair windscreen and canopy and ammo box, but the wing is definitely not Corsair. Photo 6 is a Corsair ammo box. Very cool indeed. When did you see all this?

Cheers,

We were there 3 weeks ago, the place has to be the best preserved battlefield in the world, the scrappers passed it up for reasons unknown to me...
