Item 1 : Brass, approx 12 inches long, half inch wide, threaded and tapered at one end. Opposite end is exact female so two would screw together. Possible airborne Radar related due to being found on a former wartime nightfighter station.
Second item is the brass bar, small stainless steel bearing attached and the bar has been broken just after this small bearing , Item forked at other end.
Third item is this German inspection cover, I have posted this on here before but with no conclusive ident.

Thanks all,
The brass rod section has holes for securing the two(or more) parts together with locking wire. There has been an amount of aircraft electrical parts both Radio and Radar connected found at the same small dump site in the past. Not aircraft itself I know, but aircraft equipment related all the same!

1. I wonder if it could be a cleaning rod section for an AA gun?
That had been my initial impression. Or possibly sections of a portable radio antenna – but I haven’t heard of those in brass.

I don’t believe either of the first two are aircraft parts; they just don’t have the right look about them.

Thanks all,
Positive Do17 ID received by PM regarding the inspection cover, so that has made me happy:)

2. looks like a stay for some kind of door or hatch
In both cases there must have been some reason to choose brass.

One bump before this slides into oblivion…
Any ideas on the German lnspection access panel?……please? 🙂 No visible numbers and without scraping lots of paint off, where would a number be stamped in the first place??
