This is a large airline pipework section, in lovely condition, from between the round compressed air bottles of a rocket. The part is not complete and appears to have been damaged in the crash.
It still retains some of its original colour, though it is rusty and in relic condition. The piece was torn off by the impact of the explosion and crash, but despite its relic state, it remains solid and has been carefully cleaned. It is perfect for display or any collection and measures approximately 13 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.
