I have been cleaning up a firewall found at the Silloth dump.
I have now found two sets of stamps
a 2520002 code and now a couple of PP Inspectors stamp.
(also a BHW Inspectors stamp)
I am looking at a firewall of a 1.24 dia for a radial engine.
I am guessing that it may be from a pre war Miles aircraft.
Can anyone help?

Miles Martinet it is!
Alan thanks – I have compared the firewall with the image of one at the Berkshire Museum and it is a perfect match hole by hole.. The bottom hangers are also exactly the same…
Problem solved – thank you!

I’d take a guess at a Martinet, type number being M.25 and both the part numbers begin 252.
They were operated from Silloth, and a few were written off there.
The overall diameter of the Mercury engine was greater than that of this fire wall but I would normally expect the firewall to be a little less than the engine.
