At least I think it’s a Canberra part, found on a known Canberra B.2 crash site I’m researching. Around four inches long and heavy – possibly lead – and with a broken black coating around one end.
Any ideas?

Thanks to member TT18 Timbo it appears that the item in post #11 is possibly a terminal which lives in the suppressor box of a P3 engine driven generator. Where would I be without you on that one Timbo 😎
Ok how about this one from a separate crash site nearby although not entirely sure it’s Canberra, but marked TYER’S LO# No 191#22.
Any ideas?

Hmm interesting suggestion, Blue. If it is then I wonder where-abouts as it only has a bulb at one end and wiring at the other!

The “harmonica shaped piece”- instrument panel lighting?

No ideas on this item then?

A few more items for identification. The harmonica shaped piece seems to have a bulb inside it. And the blue piece appears to be some sort of sprung lift up cover, but from whereabouts on the Canberra?

Is that the grey piece Bruce?

The little case thingy is part of a crystal from the radio.

A few more bits for I.d please guys. I initially thought the item on the right which is metal with a ceramic type base was the aerial thingy from the bomb aimers window at the front, but it doesn’t look long enough. Incidentally its 8.5 cms long.
Any ideas?

Any ideas on this piece – which hinges in the middle?

Thanks for the reply Pete. 100% Avon I’d say. I seem to be unearthing blades of different length which led me think they are compressor blades off the main compressor ‘barrel’ (the turning part), but as I’ve never seen a sectioned Avon close up I’m not entirely sure. I’ve also found a chrome blade further into the field, different to the black blades that seem to be at the very beginning of the trail.

I’m pretty sure they are compressor stators, ie the ones which don’t turn, but I don’t know if they are Avon.

Ah cheers Pete, that makes sense. Also are these turbine or compressor blades?

Hi Rob
It’s a battery terminal.
