Museum personnel have determined that a recently recovered piece of debris is not random scrap material, according to museum worker Wiktor Czeszewskis. Examination of the object—specifically the composition of the metal sheet, the rivets, the overall construction, and traces of ammunition—indicates that the fragment originated from an aircraft. Following the initial assessment, the museum team expanded its search at the recovery site, subsequently finding additional debris fragments and ammunition.
This recovered ammunition was identified as having been used in British aircraft machine guns. Furthermore, researchers located a distinct tube marked with an identification number, which museum representatives suggest may be associated with a Rolls-Royce Merlin engine. Museum representatives believe that the collective evidence suggests a connection to a wing fragment of a Lancaster bomber.
This theory draws a parallel to another piece of wreckage previously raised from the Baltic Sea in 2009. The area where these items were recovered holds historical significance, as it was a location where major activity took place during the final period of the Second World War. The detailed analysis of the recovered metal components and associated ordnance continues to build a clearer picture of the historical context surrounding the found materials.
