Section from one of the aircraft's wings lie against rocks near the crash site.

 

Among the parts are a couple still showing the yellow paint found on the under side of Ansons.

 

Near by is a gully with burnt remains, this is probably where the recovery team set fire to the aircraft to destroy it.
