This section
contains 100% genuine relics of the great aerial conflict Second
World War including the Battle of Britain. We have added this
section due to numerous enquires for this sort of personal history.
All items will have been
legally recovered and
supported with
authentification. Many
parts listed in other sections of the site can be linked to the
correct aircraft types. The following pieces listed on these pages
are from aircraft crash sites and details of the, Squadron, Pilot
,exact date, combat details, aircraft type, and serial number. In
most cases if not already supplied it will be possible for a small
fee to receive copies of the Squadron Operational record book and
official combat reports which are available from the record office
at Kew. We have found that its allot more economical to employ the
services of a professional
researcher. Its costs
around £50 to locate and take copies of original documents.
Obviously these are crash relics and will not be in a usable
condition, its the history that counts and it is possible for
example to build up a collection of a
Battle of Britain items
from start of the battle until the end . Spitfire Spares does not
support the recovery of wreckage from anything classified as a War
grave or any recovery not fully compliant with the current
legislation. Respect for
the Brave aircrew is paramount
and we will not offer or purchase any personal items recovered from
aircrew killed in action serving their Country.

JU 52 Relic from
Crete (No.11 Pg 6 Relics)
The BMW engine plate and air speed
indicator instrument face was acquired from a shop in Crete in
1975. The shop owner said they had come from a JU 52 crash site
in the area of Suda bay Crete, and that the remains of the JU 52
were found in the early 1960's and were from a crash sight from
the invasion of Crete in 1942.

Herbert Blockberger
ME109 Frame (No.9 Pg 6 Relics)
This is a frame from ME109 Bf109G-5
(W.N . 27107) which was flow by
Uffz Herbert Blockberger
Shot
down by fighters, this aircraft dived steeply into the ground in
the path of the Allied invasion of France. Not surprisingly it
was not recovered. A small group of British enthusiasts were
helped by a Frenchman, who knew of the wreck, to locate and
recover the complete airframe and the remains of the pilot who’s
identity was at first unknown. Fortunately sufficient evidence
was found to identify him as Uffz Herbert Blockberger.
We purchased this and other parts
direct from the licence holder who excavated the aircraft. None
of this aircraft has been released for sale any where else, the
previous owner who has excavated several aircraft over many
years is now selling his collection to finance other projects.

BF110 Wheel Door
(No.8 Pg 6 Relics)
Here we have a wheel door from a BF 110.
It
still has its ID plate attached, see left.
I believe with German parts it is often possible
to identify the specific aircraft from the plate. Please
contact
me if you have any further information on this.
The Messerschmitt Bf 110,
often called the Me 110, was a twin-engine heavy fighter (Zerstörer –
German for "Destroyer") in the service of the Luftwaffe during
WWII. Goring was a proponent of the Bf 110, and nicknamed it his
Eisenseiten ("Ironsides").Development work on an improved
type to replace the Bf 110, the ME 210 began before the war
started, but its teething troubles resulted in the Bf 110
soldiering on until the end of the war in various roles,
alongside its replacements, the Me 210 and the ME 410. |

JU 88 Control Crank
(No.4 Pg 6 Relics)
Here is a control crank from a
JU 88 its from the tail or to control the elevator, its
obviously from a crash but we have no idea of the identity of
the aircraft still a nice rare peace.
Shown above the JU 88.
The JU88 Was one of the most versatile German aircraft of the
war.
It was first designed in
1936 and amazingly flew later that year as a fast daylight
bomber it was soon shown to have excellent per1forma6ce and was
used in multiple roles throughout the war.

B24 R-1830 Twin Wasp
Engine Relic
(No.3 Pg 6 Relics) Here is
a relic from a R-1830 Twin Wasp engine
The Pratt & Whitney R-1830
Twin Wasp is an American air-cooled radial aircraft engine.
The design traces its history to 1929 experiments at Pratt &
Whitney on twin-row designs. Production began in 1932 and it was
widely used during the 1930s.
It was selected as the power plant for both B-24 Liberator heavy
bomber and the Douglas DC-3 transport, two of the
most-produced aircraft making it the most-produced aviation
engine in history. Unfortunately the history of the aircraft is
unknown but it was located in the Arnhem area of Holland so most
likely a relic from the Market garden operation.
