摘要

Parts from Messerschmitt Bf 110C 3615, which was shot down in the Battle of Britain, have been donated to the RAF Museum by David Manning. The items have been moved from a farm storage site to the Michael Beetham Conservation Centre at Cosford, Shropshire, for initial assessment.This machine was shot down on August 30,1940, by RAF fighters during an escort mission - a daylight raid on the Vauxhall Motors factory at Luton, Beds - and crashed into the corner of a field bordering Claggybottom Lane at Barley Beans Farm, Kimpton, near Hitchin, Herts.
