Lancaster Bomber crash relic: What part of the plane is it?

Thanks for that Bob, I think it is part of the fuel tank as you say. My Dutch pal will be delighted. Thanks to everyone who posted on the thread. K

Kirmington, here is a picture of a damaged oil tank inspection door recovered from the wreckage from Lancaster ED908. It has the same number (twelve) of bolted attachments and looks very similar to your piece. Does this help?

Not what side it is on. What size is it? What are the dimensions of the red flange in inches or centimeters?

Thanks for your replies Gents, I am afraid I do not have the piece in front of me but will ask my pal in the Netherlands what side the red flange is on. K

I’m no expert, but it does look like it could be part of a fuel or oil tank. For reference, what size is the red flange on your part Kirmington?
