Hi All,
Thanks for your replies.
How Man's pictures tell me that what is on the grounds of the museum in 2004 is
used in the final reconstruction. However, some of you may not be fully
convinced that those are the original pieces from the mountain. It is
understandable, and an good for the museum to have documented material about
this. I do not have many pictures of CNAC #53 in its original state in the
mountain. My computer extracts frames out of the dvd from Fletcher's
documentary. Mr. Ge Shuya has given me his pictures of CNAC #53 as it was when
it was found in the mountain.
I will work in trying to use those pictures to compare the pieces in How Man's
2004 pictures. Anyone wanting to share any images they have please do. It will
help me use them in the comparison. Of course photo comparisons like these are
not definitive proof of anything, but it may help us in our speculations.
Big question: Are the pieces on the ground (in the 2004 picture) enough to make
a finish product without the need to bring in another airplane? I mean that if
what is on the ground came form the mountain, and all of it is used in the final
product, then why bring in another airplane? I used to think that another plane
was needed because there were not enough pieces of the original plane, but after
seeing the pictures, I have doubts about the need to use another airplane.
Specially if resources and funds are limited.
