I got this piece of aircraft a couple of weeks ago. It was thought to be possibly Buccanneer – but after several days staring at Buccs – I cannot see it.
The stamp on the back: Interchangeability Approved and what looks like a 3G4 135 or BGA135 Inspectors stamp – printed on the back. Colour is removed in photo for easier viewing
The bottom sides have sleeves for sealing. The remaining paint on top is a dark sea grey
It is 86cm tall and 60 cm wide at base.
I have checked several other post war jets without finding anything similar ( Harrier/Javelin/Hunter etc…).
I would appreciate knowing what it is from – so any help is appreciated
N.B. it is not for ebay…

If it had been any other aircraft, I’d be stumped.

A heaped plate of Kudos.
Been annoying me for days – so you have my appreciation!

Looks like the thrust reverse mechanism fairing from a Tornado.
