What Luftwaffe Aircraft Stuff Do You Have?

I have a shoebox under my desk of small fragments from a KG2 Do17Z that crashed at Whitstable in 1940. Most are unrecognisable smush, but better ones include a piece of compass rim and – unusually – a number of 20mm cannon cases. IIRC at least one was fired, rather than “cooked off” in the post-crash inferno. Saddest relics are a Reichspfennig and a cigarette lighter…

I also have a paperweight from the same site – though the edges of a bit of shrapnel do tend to make a mess of delicate paperwork!

Car Boot finds

As Luftwaffe aircraft seemed to have managed to avoid falling out of the sky over Lancashire during WW2, my few German relics have mainly turned up on car-boot sales 😀

Firstly a set of negatives of photos taken on a “liberated” German airfield, including photos of intact Me262s and a variety of other aircraft, some damaged some not – unfortunately I lent these to another enthusiast to do some prints – and am still waiting for their return – Steve! :dev2: However as there were no prints and the stall holder had no idea what they were of, I only parted with 50p!

The second was a Luftwaffe officer’s forage cap, still with insignia for £4.50 – the stall was being filmed for one of those dire boot sale treasures TV programs and they were busy enthusing on camera about a horrible piece of sylvac pottery – when I walked straight in front of the camera & picked the cap up (didn’t see the camera Guv – honest! :diablo: – but I HAD spotted the cap from 20 feet away:D ). Been told its repro & asking £7 the stall holder said as he resumed smiling for the camera – I continued to ignore the film crew & haggled – Its totally spot on and genuine, well worn from being folded when carried in an aircraft – wonder where it has been? It now in the museum at Millom

Finally a mystery item – a small periscope made of solid Perspex with a bonded glass viewing lens, to improve clarity & resist scratching I assume – I was given it by a very honest individual who told be he had taken it from a shot down German aircraft near Manchester – I have no reason to disbelieve him – other things he told me were spot on and he wanted no money for it. I will try to find it and post a photo.

A few bits and bobs, 🙂

1. Stick top ME 109 G6 a recent acquisition from France combat loss with P38’s and P47’s cant give too much away, others I think are Luftwaffe

Nice ball mounted MG there, from a Ju88 no doubt?
That’s a great rare piece! 😮

CO2 bottle from a Luftwaffe ‘May West’ recovered by my good self when the (modern) Luftwaffe EOD were clearing RAF Gatow (Berlin) in 1992. Missed a Ju-88 undercart leg and a FW-190 wing.

Not much really… Just this old bowl!!!! It looks like any old bowl but when you turn it over, it’s stamped German Luftwaffe 1939! Funny to think that this bowl survived who whole war in Poland. I rescued it at Christmas last year after someone served me mashed potato in it!!!

Certainly Jumo, not sure if it’s 211 or 213.

100% correct, so far…..engine type?

From a V12 so

DB601/605 or Jumo 213

So whats the aircraft in the pics?

Read the caption!!!

Only photographs I’m afraid, but they are totally original, my old man found them in Germany after crossing the Rhine in 1945 and I have published some of them before, you may be interested if you haven’t seen them though, I have more. I’d love someone to come out of the woodwork and be able to tell me who some of them are, family members perhaps, Molders I know of, of course.
I’d really like to know who the characters are in the last picture, it’s un-titled, but as the rest of the pictures are from the Calais area of France, 1940, and it looks like a railway works, any idea, don’t you just love the bloke in the middle with the fag.

Only have one blade, a wooden one believe to be from He111 &/or Ju87 (any other information welcome 🙂 )…
ref. 9-30308-10

Nice blades there:)

Props and Epaulette

A couple of years ago I bid for and won a set of blades for a 109. They’re the paddle bladed kind, as used on the G6 AS, G10 AS and K4, I believe. At least that’s what my amateur searching on the web told me so….on the bottom of each the following stamps occur:

53 : Inside a large ‘D’ or ‘O’

9 – 12159 10

SNR 3 h(or b?)uf 54175

h(or b?)uf 168294

Also I was given an epaulette and newspaper cuttings from the Leaves Green Dornier by a friend of my grandmother’s. During the war her husband-to-be had been cycling near to where the a/c went down and helped the crew.
