| After searching for some time I finally found the newsreel short of the aftermath of 42-39825 IN-M "Zenobia El Elephanta"'s unplanned excursion into Deenethorpe village in 1943.<br/> Once I found out it was a news team from Gaumont who shot the footage, I was able to trace it back to the collection now held by ITN in London.<br/> Even better, the 50-second short is available to view online [http://www.itnsource.com/shotlist//BHC_RTV/1943/12/13/BGU409100016/|HERE].<br/> <br/> Scenes during the cleaning-up operation:<br/> <br/> <img class='ForumMaxImgWidth' src='/public/Attachments/NARA-Informal/65647.jpg' /><br/> <br/> <img class='ForumMaxImgWidth' src='/public/Attachments/NARA-Crashes/65646.jpg' /><br/> <br/> The wreckage was brought back to the base, and placed beside the 450th Sub Depot workshops.<br/> <br/> <img class='ForumMaxImgWidth' src='http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k227/ramc181/401%20pix/DPcrash4s.jpg' /><br/> <br/> The Gaumont journalist can be seen with the crew in this photo, wearing a raincoat:<br/> <br/> <img class='ForumMaxImgWidth' src='/public/Attachments/NARA-Informal/65648.jpg' /><br/> <br/> The two cameras can be seen here, beside the workshops:<br/> <br/> <img class='ForumMaxImgWidth' src='http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k227/ramc181/401%20pix/DPcrash3s.jpg' /><br/> <br/> Out and about, interviewing the locals: <br/> <img class='ForumMaxImgWidth' src='http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k227/ramc181/401%20pix/DPcrash2s.jpg' /><br/> <br/> All the best,<br/> Paul <br/><br/>Paul Bellamy<br/> <img class='ForumMaxImgWidth' src='/public/Attachments/ForumNew.MainPage/resource1.png' /><br/>

| Each year small fragments of wreckage from "Zenobia El Elephanta" are brought to the surface by ploughing.<br/> Despite a large area of the crash site being redeveloped for housing a number of years ago, there are a few quiet corners in Deenethorpe village where larger sections of the plane came to rest, to be rediscovered years later.<br/> <br/> Here are the largest items I've found on the surface, with a CD for scale:<br/> <br/> Wing inner skin, showing damage from the fire, and a length of seam covering trim.<br/> <img class='ForumMaxImgWidth' src='http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k227/ramc181/401%20pix/MAw1.jpg' /><br/> <br/> Boeing part number still visible on the inner face of the trim section.<br/> <img class='ForumMaxImgWidth' src='http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k227/ramc181/401%20pix/MAw3.jpg' /><br/> <br/> Hand-written inscription on the same part.<br/> <img class='ForumMaxImgWidth' src='http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k227/ramc181/401%20pix/MAw2.jpg' /><br/> <br/> All the best,<br/> Paul <br/><br/>Paul Bellamy<br/> <img class='ForumMaxImgWidth' src='/public/Attachments/ForumNew.MainPage/resource1.png' /><br/>

| A new post-explosion photo has turned up:<br/> <br/> <img class='ForumMaxImgWidth' src='http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k227/ramc181/401%20pix/Snooper/F-401-3-c.jpg' /><br/> <br/> This shot appears to have been taken towards the east end of the "triangle" in Deenethorpe village, looking back up the hill toward the crash site which was directly behind the two people in the foreground. (I'll try to get a comparison photo this week to clarify.)<br/> <br/> The lump of wreckage is the No.4 engine nacelle.<br/> It's resting upside down, with the supercharger and cooling air inlet in the middle of shot and the engine bearer frame on the right.<br/> The flower-like object underneath the engine bearer is the inlet impeller wheel from the back of the engine. <br/><br/>Paul Bellamy<br/> <img class='ForumMaxImgWidth' src='/public/Attachments/ForumNew.MainPage/resource1.png' /><br/>

| Comparison photo taken this evening.<br/> Sorry the lighting is a bit contrasty, it was pouring with rain but with bright sunshine at a low angle:<br/> <br/> <img class='ForumMaxImgWidth' src='http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k227/ramc181/401%20pix/F-401-3-c-NOW.jpg' /> <br/><br/>Paul Bellamy<br/> <img class='ForumMaxImgWidth' src='/public/Attachments/ForumNew.MainPage/resource1.png' /><br/>
