This item includes 2 x A5 laminated information cards, featuring details of the crash site and current photographs of the area. The part comes from a long-held private collection, with pieces originally recovered many years ago by a dedicated enthusiast who personally visited crash sites, uncovering surface relics or excavated wrecks. These parts are now being offered to the public for the first time.
The parts are from British RAF Short Sunderland number L2167 of 210 squadron which was shot down and crashed at Maidalen Finnemarka in Sylling, west of Oslo on the 9th April 1940 during the German invasion of Norway.
The float plane was performing a reconnaissance mission from RAF Invergordon to Fornebu (Oslo region). While flying away from Fornebu, the airplane was attacked by the pilot of a German Air Force Messerschmitt Me.110. The pilot lost control of the aircraft that dove into the ground and crashed in a dense wooded area. At a height of 3,000 feet, a crew member was able to bail out without any parachute. On the crash site, rescue teams found the dead bodies of nine crew while the jumper, a young sergeant, was injured. His chute was absorbed by deep snow on the ground
