I bought this artifact at Waddington airshow 2006.
It is a peice of the Lancaster Bomber MkIII JB-659 J for Johnny that was shot down over Holland. They were being sold to raise money, I think for a Museum at the crash site. There were two types available, with serial number on and without, this peice has a seriel number and I would love to find out where on the aircraft it came from. It comes complete with certificate of authenticity. Chuft with it
