Wonderful find! Reminds me of the 109 found in Russia few years ago (complete with pilot remains, 20mm hole in pilot seat).

No pilot remains, he survived. The plane was abandoned later. The holes are most likely caused by a German grenade, trying to render the plane useless before they took a run.

I don't think that the whole was made by an Hand Grenade it doesn't fit the splinter and explosion pattern, imho it looks more like a whole by a 20mm or some similiar caliber which went thru without detonation.

Did you notice the peppering holes in the fuselage just below the canopy area, looks like it was associated with the hole in the wing.
