Just posting these in the hope that someone may know what they are and what they are from? Dug up today on an old airfield, thats all I know! Could be ground equipment??
Thank you all!

The second item is very high quality, the seam welding is perfect and the steel is very high grade with little surface rust after decades under a few inches of mud. The first item has a flap that is painted with what looks like zinc chromate primer? Third is a brake shoe, just a bit bigger than I am used to. These were recovered from the ground outside a store alongside a dispersal.

Stove flu from a billet, tried to liberate one once but the reclaimation bloke was a bit quicker than me:eek:
Mind you they look a bit more industrial than what I remember,

Photo(66/67) is almost certainly a brake-shoe; couldn’t say if it is from an aircraft (but designed to brake in one direction primarily).
