This is a very large section of aluminium airframe panel which by recovered parts sizes is a massive section and is lovely and clean and has a bit of underbelly black paintwork remains on one side and lots of green and brown camouflage paintwork on the other side and is very rare to get such a large bit of Lancaster bomber.
The big part is a section of airframe structure which is aluminium made with steel structure bolts. The part has been very well cleaned and has most of its original colours this is a very large part at 23 inches by 7 inches wide and is a lovely part for display or any collection. The part is from from Lancaster bomber ND859 of 576 squadron which took off at 9.25pm on the 12th of July 1944 from Elsham Wolds airfield to destroy rail facilities on a raid to Revigny north of Lyon in tactical support of the Normandy Landings. The bombing was circling in cloud cover trying to find the target area when Lancaster ND 859 was involved in a mid-air collision with 44 Squadron RAF Lancaster LM 638 KM-P that was returning from its operation against the railway junction at Culmont-Chalindrey..The part comes with 2xA5 laminated information cards with pictures and map.
Lancaster ND 859 crashed at Giey Sur Aujou Haute-Marne and LM 638 crashed near Auberive, Haute-Marne France which is North of Dijon in France.
