Spitfire - Cannon Hit Canvas | INCLUDES: Wing Panel Relic historical_relic_plaque the former facilities contractor atThis aluminum relic is from Supermarine Spitfire Mk. Vb, AD391, flown by 313 Squadron. On February 23, 1942, the aircraft tragically crashed into the sea near the Royal Artillery Experimental Station in Shoeburyness, Essex. Eyewitnesses reported that the starboard wing touched the water, causing the aircraft to bounce twice before plunging into the sea. The wreckage remained submerged until it was recovered in the early 1980s. Panel from Spitfire
