This is a photo he sent me of the base…is that a bullet or mounting hole??? Would appreciate any details of the particular aircraft it came from to pass to him.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]249687[/ATTACH]Yes Andy,It came from a JU88 that landed on the Butchers Arms Pub in Bourne ,Lincs after being shot down by a Beaufighter in May 1941. An old school friend sent me the pics the other day.It came via his father or grandfather who was a builder working on the site after the crash.I also have some parts from this aircraft but I was always told it crashed on Bourne Bus ?Garage.It turns out the Garage was built on the site of the pub after it remained derelict for many years.
Where exactly in Suffolk????
In store at Belton House….
Saw this at our local railway museum..superb piece of work..so sorry for him..he must be gutted.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]246761[/ATTACH]picked up a chunk of one the other month….you still doing some copies Elliot?
Think that’s the one my friend got…at the East of England Showground Festival of antiques at Easter???
Two on eBay UK at the moment £20 and £40….
Cool.thankyou
The upper splitter for the Mk 4 is mounted to the lower left of the auto pilot panel just in front of the map holders.
Wow that looks like it could be part of the modification from the rear turret looking at the drawings..thank you for that!!
PM sent Kiteflyer!!
Yes….I too was a bit disappointed with the aviation related stuff there this year..last year I spotted an early Spitfire style Seat on one of those big Mad Mad style vehicles driving around…no…they wouldn’t part with It!. Would look to have around their construction yard in Bristol..they apparently sourced a lot of stuff from the old Flowers Scrap yard before it was closed down.
