Anybody recognize this Spitfire part?

Hi Pete;

K9993 went to the Purfleet Heritage Centre. I remember us dealing with Richard Smith the curator. Still on display there I believe, but it’s been years since I visited. We had quite a bit of this aircraft, including a fair bit from the cockpit. The shell holes in the armour plate stick in my mind. I recall being told that P/O Assheton had no desire to be re-united with the remains of his aircraft.

Best regards;
Steve

Hi Steve

Probably just as well he didn’t…he would have seen just how lucky he was to bale out. Even I couldn’t get that engine running again!

Pete

Bows politely 🙂

No, it is the same component as the subject, another brush cover.

Pete

Hydraulic tank?

Many thanks.

This is the part I have been trying to identify from another wreck site.

Looks like it might be reappearing, piece by piece….

The engine from that aircraft used to be on display at the Rebel Air Museum, I don’t know where it went.

It’s part of the generator. The brush cover to be specific.
