41. The debris fits quite well...
OK, I checked the site of Jean-Pierre Desmoulins. At first, I think he did not estimate the size of the debris well. If you compare it with the diameter of the pick-up-wheel, you should come to a height of the letter "c" (or whatever it is) of something between 80 cm and 100 cm. I commit, that this is not easy to estimate. The piece of debris might be twisted, so it could be more or less.

If you check the letter "c" now on the plane, obviosly RH is right. The circumference of the fuselage isn´t importend, because you see the letters almost vertical. So it is about 2/9 of the height, that means about 88 cm. Due to the fact, that you do not see it EXACTLY vertikal, it might be around 100 cm.

Of course there are some imponderabilities, but all in all, it is about 100 cm, and that is simple mathematics.
