This is a group of internal parts from the fuel control system of a rocket.
One piece features maker markings and the famous ARGUS hose connector, alongside a steel pipe fitting with a long screw thread and a section of rubber hose that has been torn apart. All components originate from inside the rockets fuel system.
The parts still retain some of their original colours and, although in relic condition, are overall in nice shape. They were torn off by the impact of the explosion and crash but remain solid and have been carefully cleaned. They are perfect for display or any collection, measuring approximately 3-5 inches in length.
This is a rare addition for any collection. The parts were 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 parts were 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.
