Hi Guys - sorry it has been a while since i posted anything on here
maybe someone could possibly help me out here
I am one of the trustees of the Sywell Aviation Museum which is located on the Sywell Aerodrome Northamptonshire.
Last year we were luky to do a deal and we received a German 500Kg bomb for the museum.
This is now on display in our Luftwaffe hall together with a large number of relics from a Dornier which was shot down locally.
The bomb is great - it is clean and in good shape and is representative of the type the dornier was carrying. It crashed with a full bomb load - 2 of the 4 discovered are still in existence - one at Harrington not far away.
Anyway - our bomb doesn't have any fins.
Is it possible we could beg steal or borrow a set of fins for display in the museum with the 500kg. We were donated a very bent fin from the crash which will be put on display but we are looking for a good set we can display alongside it.
One of our chaps is very skilled - he could even copy if he had a pattern or even manufacture from a set of drawings.
Hope somebody will be able to help us here
thanks
