Out for a field walk at the weekend, abit last minute due to the availability of the field due to crops but with some good results. 🙂
First three pics are of a hefty bit of kit with plate reading
“Air Ministry 5c/1614”
Next two seems to possible a cockpit instrument but with a serated edge?
Picture 6 & 7 are of a bakerlite piece with a metal pipe leading into it.
any help to identify would be appreciated. 🙂

Middle row pictures definitely an altimeter part;- in fact a capsule and rocker arm chasis from a KH mk14 (Kollsman pattern).
Beware of possible radium contamination on this item.

Another smaller part, its got a number which someone may be able to identify.
The second pic shows its shape and it seems to be painted a light grey and made out of stainless.
cheers for looking

Just some coils of wire Neil – nothing toxic that i’m aware of, but probably best left alone if there is any doubt :p

cheers for that,
sounds like it could be best to keep it closed.
what would be inside?

The suppresor cuts down electrical interence – they are usually mounted in the engine nacelle/firewall area. Hope that helps.

I think the other pictures show part of the gyro compass situated on the blind flying panel.
Not entirely sure about that mind!

Think we sorted where the memorial plaque is going found a good pub nearby which would be spot on! :p You can come up for the excavation Lindy’s lad.
what would a supressor box be used for and where would it be situated in the Tempest? any pics or diagrams? whats going to be inside?

A productive day then… Sorry I couldn’t get up there! Busy dismantling Jet Provosts, but by the looks of things, your Tempest is in better condition……..

My mate thought it was Oxygen related, Would this part front the system in the cockpit?
