Neil I'm with ya there.... I helped recover the wreckage from an L-39 that hit the ground nearly vertically going 500+ knots. Much of the vertical fin was still in one piece. The impact crater was 10+ feet deep. The hot section of the engine, though banged up, was very recognizable and we found it 50+ hundred yards away from the impact crater. We found a few smashed instruments, a partial control stick, and lots of metal pieces the size of your fist or smaller, some a little bigger (he biggest / heaviest recognizable pieces were the landing gear assemblies). It took us over a week to pick up all the bits and pieces, some of which, ended up as far as a 1/4 of a mile away from the impact crater. In a crash of this magnitude, you typically find small stuff literally everywhere... like bits / lengths of wire for example... there are miles of wire in an airliner...., bits and pieces of insulation, plexiglas, etc. We found things you wouldn't think you'd find too, like whole pages here and there out of an approach plate / book, currency (coin & bill), the airframe data-plate, etc..
