British soldiers with souvenirs. Germany, 1945.

Souvenirs

An Italian Navy’s serviceman inspect the wreck of a British aircraft shot down near a Southern Italy’s beach. Type of airplanes? The vertical tail suggest a Bristol made aircraft, likely a Beaufighter, but because the conditions of the wreck, the plane is completely disintegrated and other pieces are in front the foreshore at several meters of distance from the large wreck, is demanding the exact identification of the airplane’s model. Each suggestion is very interesting. Event’s date unknown. Victor Sierra
