The Engine Part, from the 109, well, its the cylinder head, smashed complete with 8 valves in situ, and one of them bent backwards, the remains of two rockers are still in situ as well, nice big lump, Its never been cleaned, and i will be getting it properly cleaned, I hope to “John Manning’s” standard of polishing, ..
the Do17 Cylinder head is just the top half, and one side, shattered with the half hanging on the valve, the rocker, and valve in perfect order and still in situ,
both of the above , i will polish up, and have proper display stands made up.
Would you Have any Photo’s of the Me109 WNr1134, 4./JG3 ??.. or of the dig ??..
I will PM you Andy 🙂
I did look in the BOB then a now, and wondered if it was from the Do17 shot down 20th Aug 1940 there abouts,???..it said wealdon group had “Shattered engine Pieces” and i wondered if this was “One” of those pieces ???.
i believe dug 1970 – 73 .. I cant remember, as I am at work at mo, so i cant check the book.. just wish i could sort my computer out and get a photo of it on here for your viewing .
I am so chuffed to be able to have these pieces, and wish i could find more, but like you say Andy, 3 sheets to the wind 🙁 .. but all the same, i consider myself lucky just to have these two cracking pieces 😀
