This is a very rare and hard to find pair of parts which are airframe structure section and mag allow engine case remains.The parts which are a aluminium airframe section that still retains a lot of green and brown camouflage paintwork remains very clear to see and a section mag allow engine case part still with some of its original paintwork clear to see.Both parts are 4-6 inches long both have damaged which are ripped and bent up but the impact of the crash. They are in nice solid condition with some original colours which were perfect for display or any serious WWII aviation collection. The parts are from RAF Dambuster Lancaster bomber code name O for Orange on the raid, number ED886 shot down 10th December 1943 on arms drop to the resistance for the S O E over France and comes with 2x A5 laminated information cards with pictures.
