WW2 German Propeller Pitch Indicator From Rudolf Hess's Crashed BF110
10th of May 1941 Deputy Fuhrer Rudolf Hess crash lands in Scotland on his secret mission to meet the Duke of Hamilton to negotiate peace with Great Britain.At the scene of the crash RAF Corporal Peter Johnstone removes the Prop pitch indicator or "Luftschrauben-Stellungsanzeiger nr 9-9548" from the engine cowling.The Bf110 would have four Prop pitch indicators two in the cockpit and one on each engine panel.The instrument Corporal Johnston removed was a mechanical one which would have been on the engine panel, the cockpit ones were electrical.The Prop Pitch indicators were used to check which degree the propeller blades were standing.
Corporal Johnstone's Family have asked us to sell the instrument for them.We have copies of pictures of Cpl Johnstone on the front page of a newspaper standing next to Hess's plane also a group photo again next to the Hess plane, we have marked Cpl Johnston on the photos.We also have a copy of his wedding photo in RAF uniform which are illustrated on the web page.Copies of his Marriage Certificate and Certificate of discharge from the RAF are also available but not illustrated as they contain personal information.The instrument also comes with a letter from his daughter confirming that her father removed the instrument form Hess's plane when it crash landed in Eaglesham, Scotland. As this instrument is a totally unique item from a very controversial period in history and very hard to evaluate.We would welcome any serious offers which we would then pass onto the family.We are looking for offers of over £900 which is the current highest bid.Treasure Bunker Gift Vouchers
