      Here you go Erwin.....just for you......



      This is the photo that was sold on Detlev. I missed it as they do not last long on the site. I tried to get it for you but not fast enough.

        That's a very nice picture Scott. Unfortunately i didn't see it and missed it. Perhaps it flies by in the future. You never know these days.

                Great theme collection, I for one, know how difficult it is to collect one unit, but just stick with it!
                Yes that picture does belong in your collection, good luck!

                          What is the significance of the metal fragments shown in several of your photos? Are these shell fragments?

                              Thanks guys. Alan to answer your question it are indeed English shell fragments. They were found here, along with 20mm Hispano (typhoon) It was only to make the dipsplay
