Walton on the Naze Halifax

A picture shows a rocket on a launching ramp;anyone any idea what they were used for ie anti shipping,guided,or perhaps V1s “return-to-sender ?

I have photos of the memorial here;

It was RG475

Most of what was recovered was corroded due to it being hacked up and buried in shallow pits. The 1953 flood also affected the area, the majority of what was recovered was eventually scrapped!

Great pictures,stuff looks in nice condition !!

Wow, thanks, that’s a great link.

Someone must know what happened to the remains, looks to be very substantial.

Cheers

sorry i have no info

but the wreckage sounds quite substantial with a world with not enough Halifax’s in!

The hurricane dispaly is a great piece.

Nope, but I was re-re-reading the book One Hurricane One Raid about the recovery of the Hurricane wreck on display at the BOB Museum Hendon.

The Halifax (I forgot the serial but was in the RG-range) was mentioned as having been recovered by an ATC unit and the wreckage was substantial with all four Hercules engines, undercarriage, props and a lot of wreckage on site before recovery.
