Quite possibly, yes. Hillington-made parts often seem to carry the letter G for Glasgow. If the engine number stamped on the crankcase is prefixed C, that doesn’t mean Crewe, just for info.

The inspectors stamp has a ‘C’ prefix – made in Crewe by any chance?

Pity they couldn’t make the entire aeroplane out of brass. It would be in lovely condition… Thanks Pete.

Hi Elliott
Yes, it is one of the end cylinder holding down nuts.
Now you just need the other 10,999 parts.
