This is a fantastic condition fuel tank agitator, with maker markings and part number clearly visible. This part sat inside the fuel tank around the filler cap where the tank was filled with fuel.
The piece still retains its original colour and, although in relic condition, is overall in lovely shape. It was torn off by the impact of the explosion and crash, but remains solid and has been carefully cleaned. It is perfect for display or any collection and measures approximately 4 inches in length.
This is a rare item for any collection. The part was recovered from the crash site of a German V1 rocket that fell north of the village of Billum, Denmark, on 27th March 1945.
The item comes with 2 laminated A5 information cards, including a diagram showing exactly where the part was located on the rocket, marked with a coloured box.
The flying bomb is reported to have approached from a south-easterly direction at approximately 19:00 hrs and fell 15 meters west of Trvevejen Road, about 3 kilometres north of Billum. It exploded on impact, scattering debris over a wide area. Some parts were recovered immediately, while others were found many years later, in the late 1960s and early 1970s.
