The parts do not have much damage from the impact of the crash they have been well protected by the engine and lovely condition parts which are very solid not braking up at all and have been very nicely cleaned and are perfect for display or any collection. This is a nice group of parts and a rare one for the collection the engine parts come with 3 X A5 laminated information cards with pictures the crew and of the engine showing some of the pipes in place.The parts come from RAF Lancaster bomber mark 2 work number DS834 of 115 squadron which was shot down on 30th December 1943 and crashed at 2230 hours at Nelehof Farm, Tungelroy in the Netherlands.
On the Night of 29th 30th December 1943: Berlin was the main target. 457 Lancasters, 252 Halifaxes and 3 Mosquitos (712 aircraft), RAF losses were light, at 2.8% of the force. Heavy cloud cover over Berlin frustrated the RAF and damage was light. Bomber Command report claiming a concentrated attack on
skymarkers is not confirmed by the local report.
The heaviest bombing was in the southern and south-eastern districts, but many bombs also fell to the east of the city.
The bomber caught fire on one wing when it was shot down by a German Messerschmitt 110-night fighter flown by Leutnant Otto Fries 5./NJG1 who was an ace who finished the war with 18 kills
