Jason – thanks for posting up the full sad story.

Critter & Denis – thanks for that, and very interesting that three of you have now mentioned a Browning connection. It was found in the area where we were expecting P-51 parts to turn up, but such was the violence of the collision then i guess pieces of the P-47 could of been wedged in the Mustangs remains and carried on.

Does the piece above the pound coin look familiar to anyone? It has a kind of swivelling arm movement inside, with what looks like a raised ‘stop’ on the threaded part.
