Here's a chance to own a piece of history. This little aeroplane was made during WW2 from scrap lead. It is twisted and damaged because it was found in a bombed out house in Norfolk....ironic considering that the plane is a bomber......

With the first photo of this item I was wondering about its size. Now we see it's actually quite small. Any ideas as to its purpose? Purely decorative, kids toy, or aircraft recognition?

 

[dujardin]

that's a good question Peter

the only info i have came from the seller listing

''This little aeroplane was made during WW2 from scrap lead. It is twisted and damaged because it was found in a bombed out house in Norfolk....ironic considering that the plane is a bomber.''
