This is a pair of steel sections from a wing spar or wing leading-edge structure, with one piece retaining a solid joint connector. Both parts show rust and relic condition overall, but they remain solid and well-preserved. They were torn from the rocket during the impact of the crash and have been carefully cleaned, making them ideal for display or any collection. Each piece measures approximately 4-5 inches in length.
These rare collectors items 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 flying bomb reportedly approached from a south-easterly direction around 19:00 hrs and impacted roughly 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.
The parts come with two laminated A5 information cards, including a diagram showing exactly where they were located on the rocket, marked with coloured boxes.
