Aircraft History
Possibly an A6M2 Zero.

Wartime History
Crashed in Kokopo area, only the engine remains.

Ryan Toews adds:
"The engine looks like it has a short front crankcase cover, which would make it Sakae 12 engine from a Type 21, but this is a long shot as so little of the engine remains."

Wreckage
Only the engine remains, in a drainage ditch with garbage around it. The rest has been scrapped or is otherwise missing.
