The "new" Shell House building is now the offices of a solicitor's firm.
The propellor above the entrance to what was the Shell shop, was dedicated on March 21st,, 1995, during the 50th anniversary celebrations, ,with a plaque set into the steps beneath. Surviving aircrew, former Danish Resistance survivors from the raid, SOE officers, and one of the ladies who was a pupil at the Jean D'Arc School, were all in attendance during the few days of the anniversary event.
The aircrew and former Danish Resistance members signed copies of a print from my painting of the raid,, produced to aid the funding of the memorial. ( I posted a thread some years ago, describing the concept and production of the painting and prints, and how Derek Carter was involved in the organisation to fund and raise the memorial. Derek is currently writing a book on the raid, and has been involved as advisor to a Danish TV documentary, accurately telling the full story. )
Some pics below, taken on March 21st, 1995, fifty years to the day, although I've temporarily mislaid those of the propellor memorial and plaque.
Note that the angle of the attack shown in the movie appears to be incorrect, being from the opposite ( correct ) angle as shown in my painting.
