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.

B24 R-1830 Twin Wasp engine relic (Pg1 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.

JU 88 control crank (Pg1 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 performance and was
used in multiple roles throughout the war.

Arnhem C47 relics (pg 1 Relics) This
collection of Relics came from a crash sight in Arnhem, clearly
from a US made aircraft.
A fascinating collection from one of
the famous battles of WWII the purchase price includes all the
items in the p[ictures.
Being a mainly British
operation "Market Garden" the fact the jack box has an
airminstry plate this is from an aircraft almost certainly being
operated by the RAF.

These were purchased from a
collector in Holland many being held for many years the
detailed history has been lost if in fact it was ever known.
The most likely source of
these parts is the C47 which were used extensively by the RAF
during this operation , dropping troops and towing gliders.
Nearly 80 C47s were lost in
operation Market Garden.

P38 Piston (pg 1 Relics) Here is a piston
from a P38 recovered in Poland. Unfortunately no details of the
actual aircraft came with this piece.
Shown under P
38 J Lightening

First flight of the
prototype took place on January 27, 1939 and the first service
models were delivered in June, 1941.
Nicknamed “Der Gabelschwanz
Tuefel,” or “the fork-tailed devil,” by the German Luftwaffe,
the P-38 shared credit for the destruction of the first German
aircraft by an U.S. Army Air Force fighter on August 14, 1942.
The P-38 primarily served in Europe and North Africa. Its long
range and twin engines made it well suited to duty in the
Pacific, although smaller numbers were deployed to the Pacific
theatre due to production limits.
The P-38 played a vital role
in Allied war efforts, helping to achieve air superiority over
Africa in 1942 and 1943. One of the more famous P-38 missions
took place on April 18, 1943. In a well planned mission, 16
P-38s took off from Guadalcanal and intercepted Admiral Isoroku
Yamamoto’s plane, shooting it down near Shortland Island in the
Pacific. By war’s end, the P-38 was responsible for downing
more Japanese aircraft than any other Allied plane.
As the war went on the P-38
turned out to be much more than just a combat aircraft. Many
P-38s were fitted with cameras and used as reconnaissance
aircraft, providing valuable intelligence data throughout the
war.
By 1944 P-38s were being
phased out, but continued to play a major role in the war effort
in both combat and reconnaissance roles until VE Day. Some of
the aircraft that stayed in service after the war were
transferred to the new United States Air Force and re designated
as F-38s in June, 1948. By 1950 all of the P-38/F-38s were
retired from service.

Merlin reduction gear from Robin McNair Hurricane BE 566 (p1 Rel)
This is a Merlin reduction gear
recovered from the crash sight of Hurricane BE 566 flown by
Robin Mac Nair.
He took off from Charmy Down
and was shot down while protecting Bath during the German Blitz
on 25th April 1942.
This piece was supplied by the
person that excavated the aircraft under licence from the MOD.

Robin John McNair was born on 21st May 1918 in
London and was educated at Gaveney House, Hampstead and Douai
Schools.
He joined the RAFVR in March 1939 as an Airman
u/t Pilot and began his flying training at 16 E&RFTS Shoreham.
Called up on 1st September 1939, he completed
his training and arrived at 5 OTU Aston Down on 7th July 1940.
He converted to Spitfires and joined 3 Squadron at Wick on 28th
July where he flew Hurricanes.
On 28th September McNair was posted to 249
Squadron at North Weald. He went on to 96 Squadron when it was
formed at Cranage on 18th December 1940. He destroyed a He111
over Liverpool on 12th March 1941. With his tour completed,
McNair was posted to a night-fighter OTU as an instructor.
He was commissioned in November 1941. In early
1942 McNair joined 87 Squadron at Charmy Down and flew with the
squadron in the Dieppe operation on 19th August.
He was awarded the DFC (gazetted 22nd September
1942). In October he was posted to 245 Squadron at Middle Wallop
and became a Flight Commander in early 1943.
McNair was given command of 247 Squadron at
Merston in January 1944 and led the squadron to Normandy in
June. Whilst leading it on an armed reconnaissance in July, his
Typhoon was hit by flak and his engine failed. McNair glided
over enemy lines through intense fire and landed in a field.
He was posted away in August, became CFI at 55
OTU Aston Down and was awarded a Bar to the DFC (gazetted 26th
September 1944).
In 1945 McNair converted to Meteors and was in
command of 74 Squadron when he was released from the RAF in
January 1946.
McNair joined the Ministry of Civil Aviation,
then went to British European Airways on its foundation in 1946.
From 1951 to 1956 he was deputy to Lord Amherst, director of
BEA's Associated Companies and helped to establish smooth
commercial relations between the airline's foreign subsidiaries.
After holding a series of senior appointments, which entailed
responsibility for the establishment of new routes and overseas
marketing, McNair retired in 1979 from British Airways, into
which BEA and BOAC had merged.
He died on 18th May 1996 in Chichester. |

Halifax LL505 came to grief on Great Carrs in the Lake District
on the night of 22nd October 1944 while the crew were
undertaking a night navigation exercise flying from Topcliffe in
Yorkshire. The crew; seven Canadians and one Scot, took off from
Topcliffe at 14.05hrs and the flight plan would have seen them
navigate to various turning points in the UK before returning to
land back at base on completion of the training exercise. By
18.56hrs the crew had encountered very thick cloud whilst over
the north-west of England and they became hopelessly lost. They
made a series of radio transmissions including a "Darky" message
beginning at 18.56hrs that were picked up on the ground. Upon
receiving the "Darky" Topcliffe Flying Control transmitted
instructions including a bearing fly to locate Topcliffe and a
height to remain above to clear high ground. Half an hour later
the crew were still struggling and were informed to climb to a
safe height of 4,000ft and to orbit the area they were flying
over. Topcliffe Flying Control made a request to Church Fenton
airfield that a Mosquito be scrambled to assist the Halifax
crew. A first 307 Squadron Mosquito ("A-165") flown by P/O Jerzy
Nowakowski and F/O Emil Sluszkiewicz was dispatched at 19.50hrs,
the Mosquito would have probably been equipped with the latest
night-fighting direction finding equipment and with the Halifax
presumably being only one in the area the Mosquito crew were
homed to it with the aim of guiding the Halifax crew to make a
safe landing. The Mosquito crew were successful in locating the
Halifax but literally as they located it they witnessed it crash
on Great Carrs. The first Mosquito landed at Church Fenton at
21.10hrs. A second Mosquito ("N-113") took off at 22.05hrs and
landed back at Church Fenton at 22.55hrs. What appears to have
happened is that instead of climbing the crew descended so they
could get a visual fix on the ground but by this stage it was
flying too low in the heart of the Lake District. The aircraft
hit a sloping grass and rock strewn fellside near to the top of
Great Carrs while flying in roughly from the west and sadly all
on board were killed.

Hurricane P2985
The following
parts were recovered from the crash site of Hurricane P2985. I
can guarantee the provenance of these piece's and will supply
the new owner with three pages of A4 listing information of the
303 Squadron Pilot Waclow Lapkowski who was flying this aircraft
when he was shot down on the 5th of September 1940. In addition
a copy of the combat report is included. I will also supply the
history of these piece's since its recovery so it is fully
traceable to the dig site.
303 RAF Polish
Squadron was the top scoring Squadron of the Battle of Britain
and as such these are hugely desirable piece's of History for
the Battle of Britain collector.
Waclaw
Lapkowski

Born on 6th November 1913, Waclaw Lapkowski
was in the Polish Air Force before the war and was serving with
its 112 Squadron at the outbreak of war. On 6th September 1939
he shared a He111 and a Do17 with a He111 destroyed on the 9th.
He subsequently made his way to England, details unknown, and
joined 303 squadron on the day it was formed at Northolt – 2nd
August 1940. He claimed a Ju88 destroyed on 5th September. On
that day he was himself shot down by a Me109 in combat over
Gillingham. He baled out, with a broken leg and burns, landed at
Hawkwell and was admitted to Rochford (Southend) Hospital. His
Hurricane, P2985, crashed at Bonvill's Farm, North Benfleet.
Awarded the VM (5th Class, gazetted 23rd December 1940)
Lapkowski did not return to the squadron until 6th January 1941.
He returned from a sweep over France on the 22nd with 25 yards
of telephone wire round his engine. Lapkowski was awarded the KW
(gazetted 1st April 1941) and was wounded on 13th April 1941 and
admitted to hospital. Recovered, on 5th May he took command of
303 Squadron, on 4th June he damaged a Me109, on the 8th he
destroyed one, on the 22nd two more, on the 24th another and on
the 27th he damaged another.
On 2nd July 941 Lapkowski was leading 303, in Spitfire B8596,
flying with the Polish Wing escorting Blenheims to Lille. They
were attacked in mid-Channel by fifty Me109’s coming down from a
higher altitude. Lapkowski was shot down. His body was washed
ashore and he is buried in Lombardsidje Communal Cemetery,
Belgium.
303 Squadron Pilots with one of their
Battle of Britain Hurricanes.

Formed on August 2, 1940 in
Northolt, No. 303 Kosciuszko Squadron was the second
Polish fighter squadron to be formed on British soil. Its
personnel recruited mostly from 111 and 112 Squadrons of the
Pursuit Brigade, which had fought with distinction in the Polish
campaign of 1939. In spite of some difficulties, mostly stemming
from inadequate command of English, conversion to Hurricanes and
training in the RAF tactics proceeded smoothly, and a month
later the squadron entered the Battle - soon proving to be the
hardest-hitting unit in the entire Fighter Command.

The Lancaster headed out
over the Norfolk coast to rendezvous with aircraft drawn from
other airfields in the N. East. The armada then crossed the
German coast just south of the border with Denmark, before
heading south-east to the target area. Several aircraft fell
prey to the German air defences on the way out, and were seen to
plunge down to earth in flames. JB659 survived and completed her
mission. The pilot turned onto a heading to take the Lancaster
on the first leg of the journey back to Bourn, a journey which,
tragically, was not to be completed.
As the aircraft neared
the Dutch coast, a Messerschmitt night-fighter dived out of the
night sky and attacked the bomber. The Lancaster stood no chance
against the firepower and superior manoeuvrability of the
Messerschmitt, and the encounter ended when the cockpit of the
Lancaster was blasted away from the fuselage and hurtled down to
earth, taking the bodies of the pilot and the born aimer with
it.
The
remainder of the plane, with two of the four engines still
running, crashed in flames onto a farmhouse, some five miles
south of Amsterdam, killing the farmer and his family.
The bodies of Allan Hart
and Gordon Williams were recovered bv the Germans, and buried in
the local cemetery at Zwanenburg, where the graves are now cared
for by Rosalind Emerson, a Norfolk lady now living in Holland.
The bodies of the Dutch family were also recovered and buried at
Zwanenburg. The other five members of the crew of JB659 were
however buried deep inside the fuselage at the crash site, and
had remained so for some 57 years.
Plans were in hand to
build a marina, and as the work involved the site of the 1944
crash, a Royal Dutch Airforce Salvage Team was called to
excavate the wreckage and recover the remains of the five
airmen.
After consultations with
known relatives, it was decided to bury the five crewmen in a
shared grave next to their comrades in the cemetery at
Zwanenburg.

Merlin parts from Lancaster
JB659(pg1 relics)
JB
659 was a Mk III Avro Lancaster of 97 Squadron, and in
January 1944 was stationed at RAF Bourn.
At precisely ten

JB659 took off from Bourn airfield as
part of a mass bombing raid on Berlin. The Lancaster
was fuelled up for a possible 2000 mile round trip, and
carried a bomb load of five two-thousand pound bombs, as
well as marker flares. There were seven crew on board:
Pilot Officer Allan Robert Hart, 22, RAAF
WO.II Gordon Ivan Williams, 21, RCAF
Sgt. Leslie Clifton, 24, RAF(VR)
Sgt. Douglas F. Hicks, 24, RAF(VR)

Propeller Hub (pg1 relics)
This hub was again recovered
in the Arnhem area of Holland. We are unable at this time to
identify which aircraft it came from but it is a big piece.
It was badly damaged
when it came down .
If asked to guess I
would say it was probably German in origin. If you can ID this
piece please
contact us

BF110 wheel door (pg 1 Relics)
Here we have a wheel door from a BF 110 it
still has its ID plate attached see left, I stand to be
corrected but 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. |
