Hi Hawker,

It doesn’t look like any German bomb rack I’ve seen, German bomb racks were more electrical where as this looks more mechanical to me, could it be part of a landing gear lock or something along those lines? Are there any R8-88 numbers? I would have expected to see some Junkers anodising somewhere on the part. I am sure Andy would know if it Ju-88 or not.

Hi Redhillwings

Thank you for your reply.i will have ago at the landing gear lock.. unfortunately there are no numbers with reference to the R8 type, the only number letter is a capital B in a square outline. ref to the anodising there is a yellowish finish on parts (sorry camera poor quality) but not quite as prominent as you would normally expect with the Junkers type aircraft. i will now discount bomb rack i have to admit i couldn’t
find anything like it in that area of the aircraft.

Again thank you for your help in trying to i.d.of this part..
