On that wonderful train of thought, I would like to offer for sale on ebay next week this item:
Shard of aluminium.
Starting Price £0.99P
Item ends 6 days and 3 hours
This shard of aluminium wreckage was once a Heinkel He111P flown by Kg 55 it was shot down on the 12th July 1940, and crash landed at Hipley Hant’s.
Recycled and made into a Spitfire that was itself shot down and force landed in France in 1942.
It was recovered by the German authorities and made into several thousand mess tins for the Wehrmacht. One of those messcans was melted down in 1947 and used in the manufacture of a teapot.
The teapot was sold in britain and remained in service untill 1962. it was then scrapped and ended up in the rear quarter panel of a short wheel base Land Rover.
As with all land Rover’s, the chassis rusted and the bodywork was scrapped. The aluminium from the rear quarter panel was melted down and used in part towards a greenhouse frame. You are bidding for a shard of aluminium from a 1982 greenhouse that contains minute particals of air that Nelson once breathed and also has minute particals of auminium from a 1940 Heinkel 111 and a Spitfire…as well as a Land Rover.
Unfortunately, I cannot provide providence to substanciate this wild outrageous claim!
