This aircraft had a short career it
was built at the end of the War 1-2-1945 and was used as a
training aircraft at Yeovilton naval air base in Somerset and

We purchased this and other parts

Me110 Radiator
Grill (pg 3 relic nos 13)
This is the Radiator Grill
From a Me110 recovered form the Arnhem area
Me110's were used extensively
by the Luftwaffe in Arnhem as Night fighters
With the failure of the Messerschmitt Me 210
series, and a shortage of Ju 88 airframes, the Luftwaffe was
forced to retain the Bf 110 in front-live service primarily as a
night-fighter, and in 1942 the Daimler Benz DB 605B-1 engine was
installed to produce the Bf 110G series. The definitive
Messerschmitt Bf 110G-4, bore the brunt of Luftflotte Reich's
night-fighter commitment in late 1943. During 1943,
upward-firing cannon were introduced to the night-fighting Bf
110s so that the night-fighter merely had to keep station below
the target and open fire. Influenced by the success of a special
Do 217J (which had upward-firing cannon), an armourer from lI/NJG
5, Oberfeldwebel Mahle, amounted two redundant MG FFs in a Bf
110 in a home-made upward-firing mounting. A kill was achieved
using the new guns within days, and an official version of the
modification, with twin 30-mm MK 108 cannon, was installed in
the aft cockpit to fire at an angle of 60-70° from the
horizontal.

B-26 Undercarriage
Relic (pg 3 relic nos 20)
In September 1944 the Allies launched Operation
Market Garden. The road bridge across the Lower Rhine should
have been the final objective of the operation, and its capture
was tasked to the British
1st Airborne Division. Unexpected German resistance in Arnhem
meant that only a small force of some 740 men were able to reach
the northern end of the bridge, commanded by Lt-Colonel John
Frost. On the night of the 17 September the British attempted to
take the southern end of the bridge, using a flame thrower to
destroy German positions in the bridge's towers. This
accidentally ignited an ammunition store and the fresh paint on
the bridge caught fire, illuminating the area for most of the
night and forcing the British to abandon their attempt.
The superior German forces in Arnhem eventually overwhelmed
Frost's men, although this took several days. They had however
succeeded in closing the bridge to German armour for some four
days, twice as long as a whole division was expected to hold the
bridge. The rest of the division held out at nearby Oosterbeek until
25 September before being evacuated across the river.
Although the bridge survived the battle, it was bombed and
destroyed by B-26
Marauders of the 344th
Bomb Group on 7
October 1944 to prevent the Germans from using it to send
reinforcements south of the river.
