Hi,
In true Crime Watch Style I am attaching some photos of two Spit related relics that obviously have a story to tell but as yet the identity of the aircraft is a mystery.
The first part is a side cowling I picked up from John Manning many moons ago, appears to have been salvaged of reusable pats and has evidence of fire damage. Anyone recognise it??
The second part is the rocker cover I picked up from Grahm Adlam yonks ago, again I know it is a long shot but you never know, does anyone recognise it? I seem to someone did know all about it but the info was never passed onto me.
Thanks for your help.

Thanks Creaking Door, it’s always worth a punt, it seems One of the Few has renuinted the history with this piece, allbeit a sad one. Mark 12 thank you for posting a photo of the actual panel before its tragic accident. I am glad that one out of the two relics can now at least be labeled with the correct aircraft history.

“Middle photo I think must be the Trolley Accumulater access point,”
Fill it with ‘Oil 100’. 🙂

I have just spoken to John Manning and he has identified the side panel as coming from the two seat Spitfire that crashed at Goodwood on 8th April 2000 with the loss of life of it`s new pilot Greg McCurragh and passenger Norman Lees.

Sorry, I cannot help with identifying your particular items but I commend your efforts; it is such a shame when relics get separated from their histories.

Middle photo I think must be the Trolley Accumulater access point, I think it moved sometimes to trailing edge fuselage port side on some.

The top two look like the side panels of the cowling on either side of the engine! Sitting underneath the exhausts
Sorry did read your whole topic! Haha
