Summary
[edit]DescriptionV2 Rocket in London Mystery (16222295095).jpg |
Autumn 1944, and London was under attack from space. Hitler’s ‘vengeance’ rocket, the V-2, was the world’s first ballistic missile, and the first man-made object to make a sub-orbital spaceflight. Over 1400 were launched at Britain, with more than 500 striking London. Each hit caused devastation. The 13 tonne rocket impacted at over 3000 miles per hour. There was no warning; the missile descended faster than the speed of sound and survivors would only hear the approach and sonic booms after the blast. Anyway it seems that things are not always as straight forward and easy as they seem when taking photo's. I have seen this rocket which is mounted on the side of a building in Tooley Street in London, a couple of times while catching the overground train from platform 1 at London Bridge Station.. So i came back with my camera to get a shot.. This is not a V2 rocket though and does not even look close to one.. Best guess, it is the scale model of an Atlas Booster Rocket with a V2 sticker on the side.. So This V2 rocket is not a V2 rocket.. sorry for misleading you all : ) V2 or not V2 that is the question. |
