Haunebu II
Under new management

Scale:
1:72
Status:
Completed

This Haunebu II was found at Rheine, where it had landed because of technical problems while trying to flee to Norway at the end of the war. The whole crew was taken prisoner, including the groundcrew that had been brought to Rheine to fix the saucer.
All of them were transported to a site near Balmoral in the Highlands, to be tested by the RAF.
What happened next is a bit of a blur, it was tested for more than a year but no records have been found. It is known that it crashed in the spring of 1948, when it was taken by a POW. This had been the official story for years.... In the early 90ies however a report turned up at an archive destruction firm, which stated the saucer had indeed been taken by a POW, yet this was not a Prisoner Of War, but in fact another POW...also known as the Prince Of Wales!!
