The part comes with 2 x A5 laminated information sheets with pictures of the part with close up of paintwork and map.The bulk of the aircraft was recovered in 2007 but these are parts recovered before the offical recovery from the ploughed field of the crash site years earlier hence the lovely condition and paintwork it still has.
