This is an exceptionally rare and recognisable part from one of the famous German V2 rockets fired at England. The steel case section comes from the outer edge surrounding the burner cups in the engine combustion chamber. As shown in the final cutaway diagram, this is a side plate section located just beneath the burner cups. While it retains no original paint, some areas still show the natural steel finish. The part was torn and bent in the crash, is rusty, but remains very solid. It is a relic in excellent condition stable, not crumbling and has been carefully cleaned, making it ideal for display or any collection. It measures approximately 13 inches long by 3 inches wide.
This part was recovered from the crash site of the engine of a German V2 rocket fired at England on 10th September 1944. The rocket appears to have disintegrated in mid-air, scattering components across the North Fambridge area near Romford, Essex, at around 21:29 that evening. There was minor damage reported to buildings on two local farms.
This is an exceptionally rare find, particularly in this condition, from a V2 rocket launched during the height of Hitler’s rocket offensive late in the war. The item comes with two laminated A5 information cards featuring photos and a diagram indicating the exact location of the part on the rocket. The V2 was fired at 21:25 by Batt. 1./485 from Wassenaar, Beukenhorst near The Hague in the Netherlands and is now recorded as incident number 3.
