Something fishy about this picture

Hi Lynn... well, this photo looks awfully suspicious as a genuine crash site... there are no gouge or scrape marks caused by the impact of it skidding to a halt, and all the wreckage is in one place. For this to have been an actual crash, it would have had to have stalled at extrordinary low speed and altitude (since the nose is pretty much still there), or perhaps a flat spin. Either of those is possible I guess. However, could this be from a movie set perhaps?

In any event, I did a search and found no listing of a 109 or Buchon going down. There are a few replicas out there though, so maybe it was one of these.

Let us know if you hear anything.
