THREE LARGE CRASH FRAGMENTS FROM AN AVRO LANCASTER. Three large fragments from a crash sight, possibly including part of an oleo Leg structure. Apparently from the crash sight west of the Lech-river, West of Munich. The crash report for LL756 records that it was shot down on a bombing mission by night fighters on the 25/26 February 1944. These fragments originally recovered by Geoff Paine who served as a pilot in Flying Training Command. Sold with a photograph of the crash site and accompanying documents.

“Amongst the things that have impressed me most are -your Expertise (knowledge based on experience - it’s either that, or research) which enabled you to identify items which deserved a place in the Fine Art Sales, where several went on to achieve spectacular figures. -your lotting. The way some items are lotted together, but something similar, but of higher value, is lotted on it’s own, or is put with some items of similar interest but much lower value. -your realistic guide prices. It all adds up to a seriously impressive service ! Many thanks to you and your team.”
