Hello Guys.
as I was taking photos at RCAF Vulcan, I tripped over something in the grass and upon closer inspection it was an aircraft part. I know Lancs were scrapped here after the war. Can anyone identify what and where this part is from?
The only markings are a stamped M515 on the alloy and on the small wheels are the following, “westinghouse” AN203A Formica and 1 1/2″
photos are from front, back and bottem

I think I have a full set of B25 manuals in the garage, but theres no way I’m going out there to check the parts book when it’s 110deg in the shade right now… 😮

cable size
The pullys are 3/16ths wide groove. Do you have pics of this piece as fitted in B25s?

My guess is that it’s from either a wing root where the cables turn 90deg to go out the ailerons, or possibly the tail (if it’s B25) where the cables go from the fuselage out towards the rudders…
or I could be talking thru my hat… :confused:
How wide is the groove in the pulleys? If they are 1.5in pulleys it looks to be about a 3/16 – 1/4in cable?

hmmm wonder if it could be from a B25 mitchell then?
