Greay photos!! That propeler must be from 80.

I'll do my best in the morning, right now i can't find a soft.
But i can't promise anything, the quality of the snapshot is low, but i wanna try

Isn't the last grave of Lt. c-dor av. Alexandru Popisteanu, C/O of Gr. 7 vân., KIA on 21 August 1941?
A better quality scan would certainly help...

As for the first grave, I doubt a fallen Rumanian airman would have such a sloppy grave (unless he fell on the enemy's side).

Is it possible that first grave is a stuka gunner's tomb ?

Popisteanu is burried in Ghencea.
Or he has been removed?
Maybee the if we find out who is the guy on the right...

Why do you think so?

C-2, in the second picture it doesn't look like a grave. It must be only a commemorative cross for the place where was shot down Gr7 Vt. leader Lt.comandor Alexandru Popisteanu.

No, the propeler it's not from an IAR 80 . The pitch of the blade is from propeller rotating to left (viewed from the front). The IAR 80 propeller is rotating to the right.

It could be from a Bf-109 E ? .

I could not do much, anyway i think is clearly that it is writen "Alexandru" on that tomb



the rest, i can't figure it out...


and the other photo

Well Denes was right .It's a comem. to Popisteanu.
Still no clue to the E?....
Good work as usual Cipi!

Denes was right.
Another photo with the commemorative cross for the place where was shot down Lt.cdor Alexandru Popisteanu.
On the cross is writen:
" AICI A CAZUT
EROUL
Lt.Cdor. ALEXANDRU POPISTEANU
IN ZIUA DE
21.VIII.1941 "


Photo source: the book "G.A.L. la eliberarea Basarabiei si cucerirea Odessei" Modelism

Denes was right for Popisteanu grave I.D.

Cantacuzino was right for Popisteanu comemoration cross I.D.

C-2 and mgc151184, please don't mix us anymore .

Because the general shape ofr the first 2/3 of the prop looks like a Stuka prop and because on the cross I see something similar to an ammo belt.

A rom. Stuka in '41, no way
But on the cross is ideed an ammo belt .
