Quote from moonrakerz:
Several years later my father's brother, who worked on the farm containing the crash site, ploughed up a pitot head assembly from the aircraft. He gave this to my father, and for years it was in our garden shed - unfortunately it must have been thrown away after my father's death.

Welcome ! What an interesting tale.
Don't know if you're a pilot, but it's probable that either Mike Lithgow (or his copilot) would have been giving close attention to the data from that pitot probe throughout his efforts to recover from the deep stall.
