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.
