it seems to have literally been unbolted and is complete with the brackets to attach to the cockpit. The paint is still original on the one site and it still has the flak holes and scars from the forced landing. There were more parts of the Typhoon at some point but unfortunately they were lost/borrowed/taken.

Yeah, it’s stunning. One side restored, the other original. If I remember correctly from the text at the museum (it’s been a long time), it had been ‘liberated’ by an enterprising local who used it for a shower cabin or something like that. There were other parts, mainly small bits found on site, or returned by locals long after the war to the museum. I remember the tail wheel tyre, and cockpit compass, amongst others. Sorry, no pics (lost in a house fire some years ago).
