The Relics page
This section contains
100% genuine relics of the great aerial conflict Second World War including the
Battle of Britain. We have added this section due to numerous enquires for this
sort of personal history. All items will have been
legally recovered
and supported
with authentification.
Many parts listed in other sections of the site can be linked to the correct
aircraft types. The following pieces listed on these pages are from aircraft
crash sites and details of the, Squadron, Pilot ,exact date, combat details,
aircraft type, and serial number. In most cases if not already supplied it will
be possible for a small fee to receive copies of the Squadron Operational record
book and official combat reports which are available from the record office at
Kew. We have found that its allot more economical to employ the services of a
professional researcher.
Its costs around £50 to locate and take copies of original documents. Obviously
these are crash relics and will not be in a usable condition, its the history
that counts and it is possible for example to build up a collection of a
Battle of Britain items from start of
the battle until the end . Spitfire Spares does not support the recovery of
wreckage from anything classified as a War grave or any recovery not fully
compliant with the current legislation.
Respect for the Brave aircrew is paramount
and we will not offer or purchase any personal items recovered from aircrew
killed in action serving their Country.

AN ORIGINAL
RAF WW2 203 SQUADRON FLAG OR CLOTH MESS ROOM WALL HANGING,
203 SQUADRON (pg1 Rel)
The RFC,
which gave birth to the RAF, was formed in 1912. It
comprised a Military Wing, a Naval Wing, The Royal Aircraft
Factory and the Central Flying School. Eighteen months after
its formation, the Naval Wing of the RFC was reformed into
the Royal Naval Air Service. It was from these branches that
the RAF was formed on 1st April 1918. Whereas the RFC
squadron numbers were largely retained from 1 to 199, the
number 200 was added to that of each RNAS Squadron, thus 3
Sqn RNAS became 203 Sqn RAF. In 1918 the combined strength
of the RAF was 188. Under the guidance of Sir Hugh Trenchard,
Britain formed an Air Force independent of Army or Navy
control. It was also developed as the first strategic air
force in the world at the time. British carriers operated
squadrons between 1918 and 1937 as RAF Naval Air Branch
squadrons and as such were not under Navy control MEASURES

Pilot's oxygen bottle cradle
(pg1 Rel)
310
Squadron Pilots
Pilot's oxygen bottle
cradle from Hawker Hurricane Z2505 - an important piece of
his kit that would have mounted behind the pilot's seat. In
relic condition (three bolts are holding it together for the
photo where the original rivets have failed) this item could
be improved with some TLC and make a fascinating exhibit,
especially if you have a bottle to put in it! Hawker
Aircraft stamps are present on the cradle.
