Hi all, Does anyone have any trouble ordering from karaya.pl? I placed an order via the website (karaya.pl) and only got an automated response, listing my order. The reply actually provided no information about product cost or mailing charges. I send a few e-mails after that, replieng to their reply of december 20th, but no answer just yet. Regards, Willem van Berkel Holland

Hello Ossington, thanks for that information.

Thank you Ivor Ramsden and Vicarage Vee. I will post the photos on the Flypast Historic forum en see what turns up. Willem

These are parts of (an) aircraft that was were salvaged of the coast of Ameland and Rotummerplaat, two Dutch islands in the Wadden sea. They are displayed in the open air near the Hotel Bernstorff on Schiermonnikoog. There are questions about the provenance of the propeller. Does anyone have a clue? The plaque on the tailplane reads: "On November the 8th 1942 a four-engined bomber crashed on the Rottumerplaat. This aircraft, a Handley Page Halifax was part of "Operation Gardening". The object was to lay minefields North of the Wadden Isles to hinder German shipping. All the crewmembers were killed in the crash.” The plaque on the propeller reads: “This propeller of an allied bomber was dredged up by a Zoutkamper fisherman above Ameland. Unfortunately it is unknown of what aircraft is, be we hope to be able to retrieve its provenance”
