This device was found in the bombbay aerea of a crashed Wellington in the Netherlands. Is this a winch to hoist the bombs, or is it something else? BW Roger

Or the Wellington Museum at Moreton in Marsh?

Would appear to be bomb related as this picture of the bomb release mock up at Brooklands contains a similar looking device and there seems to be several of them attached to a piece of geodetic on the page on this link to a crash investigation web site.

Perhaps the folk at Brooklands could help ?
