Contact in Denmark advised the following: Parts of aircraft recovered from the Baltic Sea midway between the Danish towns of Gedser and Rostock - parts were a wing with an engine and a propeller, one loose engine, and two landing gear. Contact is sending me a CD with pictures of the wreckage and the position were it was found. Have had recent phone discussion with wife of deceased Radio Operator Buford L. Saville. Reference MACR 7887.
