V1 wood compass casing (Pg1 Rocket)
This is just an incredible
find I have only seen fragments of these before. It is the
wooden ball that contained the compass in a V1 flying bomb, it
is almost completely intact and even has the mounting for
the compass.
Its incredible that
this has survived in this condition not only because the V1
only went on a one way trip but the fact it is made of wood.
It was made of wood so as
not to upset the delicate compass that flew and steered the V1.
There cannot be many survivors in this condition and Ii
would say almost unique. It was mounted in the nose of the
V1 .

V1 nose propeller (Pg1 Rocket)
This is a superb piece in
amazing original condition, one of the rarest parts on the Website and the first one I
have seen in over 20 years of collecting. Its an original
propeller from the nose of a V1 Doodlebug or Buzz bomb. The
prop purpose was to control the point at where the engine
cut out by turning off the fuel supply, a very basic form of setting the range on the V1 .
V1s being flying bombs means there is usually very little to
be found after impact and this prop would never survive so
must have come from a captured V1.

RATOG Master Switch
From the
Royal Naval Aircraft Workshop in Perth.
This is the master switch
for RATOG which is Rocket assisted Take Off Gear. These were
used on Carriers for a variety of aircraft to assist take
off in light winds with heavy loads.
To fly, a Sea Fury needs 90 knots of airflow
over the wings. So with the ship doing 22 knots in calm air
you would just about have enough airflow over the wings to
get airborne. The ship always turned into wind to launch and
recover aircraft.
With 1000lb bombs mounted more like 95 knots was needed so
RATOG,
(rocket assisted take off), was used instead of the
catapult. Rockets were attached to the underside of the
aircraft and the take off run was started from the stern of
the ship.
At a predetermined point on the take-off run you would fire
the rockets and you hopefully found yourself up in the air.
The rocket carriers were jettisoned after take-off.

VI Rudder Tail (pg1 Rocket)
This is just an incredible
peace , the complete tail from a VI doodlebug flying bomb.
Its the biggest surviving peace I have ever had for sale. It
has the remains of one of the actuators and one of the
elevators marked with the words Don't touch. The elevator
has some original paint and apart from the damage seen in
the pictures the tail is complete. Flying bomb parts are
pretty much the rarest of peaces and by their very nature
they are usually completely destroyed on impact.

The V1 Flying Bomb, also known as a 'buzz
bomb' or 'doodlebug', was one of the most fear-inducing
terror weapons of the Second World War. In the face of
relentless Allied bombing of German cities, Hitler created
its 'revenge weapons' (Vergeltungswaffen) in an attempt to
terrorise British civilians and undermine morale.

V1 Compressed Air tank (pg1 Rocket)
Here is a superbly rare and
substantial original piece from a V1. The V1 contained two
compressed air bottles of which this is one. They powered
the gyroscope's that kept the V1 flying.
The tank was originally
covered in layers of spring steel but this had corroded and
was a real hazard so we removed the remains of the wire then
removed any corrosion and painted the tank with etch primer
to preserve it.
The steel is still thick
and healthy and is not at all delicate.
Finding the correct
original colour of the tank is not an easy process as nearly
all original pictures are in black and white. The colour
pictures I have seen showed the tanks as red, orange
grey and silver. We went with a silver finish but this can
easily be re painted .

You can see the tanks in situ just

V2 Air Bottle (pg1 Rocket)
This is a an air bottle from
a V2 rocket it has an overall length of approximately 62cm.
It has evidence of shrapnel damage. It was purchased from
Ciney in Belgium.
Once air born they were
impervious to attack so any that were destroyed was as a
result of ground fire or attacks by aircraft whilst still on
their launch pads. The only Pilot I have ever heard of to
actually fire at one whilst in the air was the wing man of
Raymond Baxter most well known for presenting the Tomorrows
World program in the 60s and 70s.
On 18 March 1945,
Baxter took part in a daylight raid on the Shell-Mex
building in The Hague, which was then the German
headquarters for V-1 and V-2 rocket attacks on southern
England. The commander of the raid, Max Sutherland, received
a bar to his DFC and Baxter, along with the three other
pilots, was again mentioned in dispatches.
In an interview about his wartime career, Baxter described
flying over a V-2 site during a launch on 14 February 1945,
and his wingman firing on the missile: "I dread to think
what would have happened if he'd hit the thing!"
Shown in situ
in the drawing under marked as number 5
 
The air bottles in the V1
were used to operate the guidance system and i suspect the
same was true of the V2 using compressed air to operate
actuators and the internal control vanes.
