What happened to the German armor fragment HMS Spitfire brought back from Jutland?
Short answerIt was likely studied, but its present location is unknown and may be in a national or regional museum collection.
NotesThe fragment was probably examined closely for what it revealed about German armor. Its current location is uncertain; the Imperial War Museum or a small regional collection near the yard that repaired Spitfire are suggested as the likeliest possibilities. The ship's post-battle movement toward Newcastle points toward a possible Tyneside connection.
