Seams like not very interesting theme, so I won’t bother you anymore 😉
Just to mention, near the place where the seat was found we “dig out” this too

It looks like (deformed) cooling advice.

It’s definitely a Stuka’s pilot seat

… probably the piece of Ju87D-3 which was shot down by flak over exYugoslavia in September ’43. with Lt. H. Robel KIA. Strange because I can’t find the name among

Looks a bit on the heavy side. Could this be from a military vehicle?

Kind regards, Malcolm.

Very nice bit of Stuka there. Is it from the UK or abroad? Unless it has the werk number painted on it somewhere or a provenance it would be difficult to identify. It is missing a couple of fittings though, photo from a dig in France. there were a set of suitable buckles on ebay recently.

Seams the seat above allegedly belonged to an Ju87! Any chance to find out serial of the a/c?
