HeraldNet: World War II German rocket draws gawkers on I-5 EVERETT -- It's not every day that a V-1 rocket from Nazi Germany rolls down I-5 through Everett on a flatbed truck. It happened on Wednesday, as the World War II relic owned by Microsoft billionaire Paul Allen was moved from a museum at the Arlington Airport to a new home at Paine Field. The disarmed V-1 was the first of 15 items in Allen's Flying Heritage Collection to be moved from Arlington, where the museum been housed for more than three years, to a 51,000-square-foot former repair hangar at Paine Field...
BUT -is it a German V-1 Flying Bomb, or one of the US-produced "Loon" Flying Bombs? :noidea::noidea::noidea:
His listing states that it is in fact a Fiesler Fi.103, so an original. He also has a piloted version - Fiesler Fi.103R Flying Heritage Collection The Flying Heritage Collection
Fair enough. We had a few (V-1s, not beers!) in Suffolk and a couple of narrow squeaks here in LT from those air-launched from He 111s towards London over the N Sea winter 1944-45. We found the tail-end of a jet-pipe from one in a village pond back in 1978. BC
