Some years ago I bought a bag full of aircraft parts.
The seller told me it was removed from a RAF bomberplane, which had made a crash landing in WW2 near his village in Brabant, south of Holland.
Can anybody tell me from which plane these parts are ?

I cannot recall the village Ad and I don’t know it is from a Stirling. The guy told me the parts were collected by his father and he had found them in his shed after he had passed away. He also told me there were several planes crashed near their village when I asked him if he knew what plane it came from.
So his father probably could have collected parts from more planes.
Will see if I can find numbers on them.

You have mix of parts from a Spitfire and a radial engined aircraft. Part numbers would reveal more, but the retraction jack and trim jack parts are easy.
