| Description |
The V-2 was the world’s first long-range ballistic missile and the ancestor of the liquid-fuelled rockets that put man in space. Constructed by Mittlewerk GmbH at the Peenemünde Army Research Center, its technical name was the Aggregat 4 (A-4). This original example is one of 21 known to survive and was probably captured at a munitions factory near Nienburg, where several damaged rockets were found on railway wagons in April 1945. It was brought back to the UK by the Royal Engineers and was part of the Royal School of Military Engineering at Chattenden until 2012. It was restored by Borley Brothers Engineering in Cambridge, before going on permanent display at the Royal Engineers Museum. Gillingham, Kent, UK 24th July 2021 |
