The Hampden’s tail boom. Interestingly, when museum staff looked closely at this component, they found the serial number L6012 painted on the side, which actually belongs to a Handley Page Hereford (a Napier Dagger-engined version of the Hampden). Presumably P1344’s original tail boom needed replacing at some point, and received the unit from the Hereford prior to the crash. (photo by Geoff Jones)
