Never Know?? Well that is possibly true..but there are still clues to be gleaned from the evidence, me thinks....
A "Ju-52 guy", maybe could give a clue, as to the "age"of the "Latecore's"
hanger partners. Is the "light gray" color, a signifier of an "interned" or
"evaluation after occupation", 298 ??
In the foreground Ju-52..looking thru the window..we can see the "cross"
on the side of the fuse of the 298. Aft of the window..looking thru the door,
1/2 way down..are we looking at the inboard side of the starboard float?
At first, I thought that area may be the lowered flaps..but there is no equi-spaced ribbing..so I'm back to thinking a float! The Latecore empennage
sits rather far aft of the floats..so still, I think floats...

Or, am I totally wrong...& I'm looking at "shop stuff"? And the 298
is up on some sort of Jigs like the Ju-52's?
Where did you see what you termed the "orange area"? Was it on the port
side farthest aft? I was thinking it was a "shadow area of the port elevator
in the "down" position. The starboard elevator "in the down position" is quite light!
Regardless, brewerjerry...it's a very interesting photo!!!
Thanx, Jim
