Some close up shots of the exposed engine on the V2 on display here in London at the Imperial War Museum. Photos from the time show the combustion chamber assembly often survived the impact and warhead detonation to be found later around the crater. Adjacent, a V-1, which my mother saw in action as one overshot her aunt's house. The Spitfire wing tip in the third picture seems to recall the RAF tactic of flying alongside Doodlebugs and attempting to flip them over into a tumble with the Spit's wing tip whilst still they were still over Kent farmland.
