And here's something nasty-looking, but another of my favourite pieces ; -




A large chunk of Rolls-Royce Merlin ( partially melted ) from Hurricane P2793 shot down over Kent on 11th September 1940. This was 18-victory Battle of Britain ace 'Ginger' Lacey's aircraft in which he shot down the 'Buckingham Palace' Heinkel HeIII, only to be shot down in turn by return fire.

'Ginger' baled out OK, and the Hurricane crashed in flames into a copse on private farmland.
