Not totally sure about this - but I believe that this wing and several other major parts were originally recovered by Jim Pearce several years ago and the wk.nr. was then quoted as 5709 - which was subsequently found to be false.
Speaking to one of the guys involved with White 1 , he said they got a large amount of components from a U.K.collector , which originated from Russia - I believe that this is one and the same wreck.
As I said - I could well be wrong about that though ;-0
