An interesting and scarce Falklands War Vulcan Bomber souvenir mounted engine part, with letter of provenance. Salvaged from the decommissioned Vulcan XM 607, which took part in a long range bombing run at Port Stanley runway on May 1st 1982. Manufactured in aluminium, mounted on an oak base, with an applied gilt metal and enamel RAF Waddington badge to one side. Complete with original Royal Air Force Waddington letter, dated February 14th 1983, and signed by Flt Lt I P Woodhouse OC ASF, certifying that the piece is a component taken from the Rolls Royce Bristol Olympus engine MK 30101, serial number 650414, which powered the Vulcan XM 607 aircraft that put Port Stanley runway out of action during the Falklands campaign. Notes: XM607 was completed on December 30th 1963, and was delivered to 35 Squadron the following year. The aircraft took part in Operation Black Buck (as part of 44 Squadron), flying in the first, second, and 7th raids on the occupying Argentinian forces at Port Stanley. XM607 had due to be the reserve or back up aircraft for the first raid, but a technical fault with the first choice XM598 (failure in cabin pressure), meant that XM607 carried out the first raid, commanded by Flt Lt Martin Withers. The 9 hour non stop flight involved two mid air refuels from Victor Tanker planes. The aircraft was retired in December 1982, and by January 1983 it was displayed as a gate guardian at RAF Waddington. It’s known that the aircraft has been used sporadically as a parts donor for more airworthy Vulcan over the years, and it’s likely that this part was an early piece of salvage. Approximately 13.5cm height, base size 10.5cm x 7cm. Condition: generally good. A little surface wear and patination to the aluminium in places for use. The base is in good condition, some small areas of enamel loss to the applied badge.

A 1:384 SCALE WATERLINE SHIP MODEL OF THE CELEBRATED FIRST CLASS NORWEGIAN CRUISE SHIP STELLA POLARISmodelled by R.A. Wilson, the 13in. hull carved from laminated wood and finished in white with planked decks, fittings, superstructure and lifeboats, masts, rigging and funnel as appropriate, depicted steaming in an undulating blue sea within glazed wooden case with labels, together with a wood carry case -- 7 x 21¼ x 7¼in. (18 x 54 x 18.5cm.)Famed as the world's first purpose built cruise liner, Stella Polaris enjoyed a long and eventful career from the day she was launched in 1927 to the day she sank, under tow to be a hotel in 2006. Fitted with advanced and luxurious accommodation for 200 passengers on normal cruises, or 100 on world cruises, she was established as a favourite long before World War II interrupted. Serving as a mess for German officers, with peace she was re-fitted and continued for another twenty-nine years until sold to Japan for conversion to a floating hotel. She was sold again in 2006 and re-named Scandinavia in order to return to the land that built her to continue as a hotel. En-route she took on water and sank in seventy metres two miles off Wakayama state. Attempts to salvage her have so far been thwarted by a vigorous underwater current.

The vessel foundered during a storm in Gunwalloe Bay while travelling from Lisbon to Antwerp carrying a valuable cargo of copper and silver ingots estimated to be worth approximately £18,800 at the time (about 4,000 times a man's annual wage). This is thought to have included the dowry of Princess Catherine, bride of King John III and sister of Charles V, the Holy Roman Emperor. 41 of the 86 crew were drowned. The wreck’s importance is reflected in the surviving documentation, including the cargo manifest, and evidence given to a Court of Star Chamber set up by Henry VIII to determine salvage rights to the wreck.
