230830: M'lle Zig Zig

I was lucky and found a part of the plane. It is the tail wheel of the "M'lle Zig Zig"! It was "stolen" from the wreck and was used several years as part of a handcart. After that it was forgotten and now remembered when I startet to interview the remaining time-witnesses. Best regards from Germany! Heinrich Böwing
