Supermarine Spitfire MK VB Serial BM539 Catalogue No. RAF 0039A
Collection of artefacts recovered from the crash site.
Part of the Martin “Buzz” O‘Brien Collection.
The Society's Aviation Heritage Collection contains countless artefacts, documents and photographs established from over five decades, which include aircraft crash site investigations and recovery, aircraft preservation and memorial construction to name but a few. A large percentage of the collection relates to the Society's work in Europe and in particular France, the Netherlands and Germany.
Although most work is mainly related to aviation subjects the act of remembrance remains paramount in all our work, from the construction of memorials to the recovery of missing airmen.
Many other subjects relating to 20th century history have also been encountered during our research work and these are also recorded here.
