Horsa brake-shoe found LZ-S Wolfheze.

Horsa brake-shoe found LZ-S Wolfheze.

These kind of Original parts are rare. Most of them are burned during the first days of the battle of Arnhem. The Germans burned most of the Horsa gliders.
The fifth photograph is made at the Glider Museum Wolfheze. You see a wheel shaft with a brake system around it. Six brake shoes are attached. On the outside of the brake shoes you still see the brake lining material.
The one I offer has no brake lining material on the shoe anymore. It was underground for more then 50 years and came off over the years.
