After several months of work, the conception of the replica of a flying bomb V1 launching catapult was made and placed on the Poteau de Montauban V1 base located in the commune of Guerville.
Thanks to this reproduction, visitors are now more able to understand the reality of what was a V1 site at the time.
The replica of this catapult was made by the company Lemercier, domiciled in Pierrecourt. Three replicas have yet to be created : another catapult, which will be installed on the base of Beaulieu (Campneuseville), and two V1, which will be also arranged on these sites (Beaulieu and Poteau de Montauban).
