Re:Henschel Hs293 elevator relic

Hi very nice do you still own it or is it on loan to a museum somewhere?

How do I get this stuff?

Well,I bought the Hs293 rudder in an auction, 25 years ago. It was billedas "part of a V1", but when I got my hands on it, and felt how heavy it was, I new it was NOT from a V1. I sent some pictures off to England, through the efforts of Winston Ramsey (of After the Battle) who forwarded the photos to Ian Hogg, I received a nice letter telling me what it was. He also identified the L.M.Z. zus 34B fuze I had got as coming from an aerial mine. I was quite pleased. The U.S. Navy Ordnance manual I have doesn't mention the L.M.Z. zus 34B, so I was not sure what it was from. Patience pays off in the end.

Yes, I still have all of them, er, most of the collection. Like a fool I sold off an SD2 in mint condition, with a 70B anti-disturbance fuze, a few years ago.


Cheers!, JIMBO
