Can anyone confirm that this is bulkhead #5 from a mossie?

I have no plans to dismantle it.
It’s another piece that my dad picked up at a local farm. My understanding was that the rotting fuselage was picked over for it’s fittings and this piece was left behind in a pile.
Unfortunately, the identity will probably remain a mystery.

Hello Mike,
From a historical point of view it is worth more as a complete artifact than it would be in parts especially if this is from a Canadian Mossie?
It’s part of what once was an aircraft with an identity, in any way it’s a very nice item and it would be blasphemy to have it taken apart for some parts. If the identity isn’t known then at least it stands as a reminder of the many license built Mossies in Canada.

Mike – my personal opinion is that as a collectable – it would be a shame if someone broke it up for parts – it’s very complete.

Is it more valuable for the fittings, it’s use as a pattern/template or as a collectible?

The question is will it be at Legends? 😀 😀 😀 Bex

Unfortunately that’s all I have.

Bruce will know more thanme about mossies, but that’s the hydraulic flow valve on the bottom part. Nice find!

Oooh an easy one!
Yes! It is a Mosquito bulkhead. Got any more of it?
