Re: Messerschmitt Bf 109E Spinners

Thank you very much for that. All that is known about the spinner is it was purportedly shot down by P/O Mackenzie of No 501 Squadron during the Battle of Britain. Sadly 'Mac' could not remember any other details when he presented the spinner to the Kent Battle of Britain Museum in 1984, and with failing health we have not troubled him recently to try and jog his memory once more.

Sadly, as we had expected from our own research, this item is unlikely to ever shed the truth as to it's origin.

Kind regards

Dave
