Attached are 4 windows I am having difficulty identifying….
Numbered L to R top first
No.1 appears to be US due to interior green and is made of stainless, I have seen things like this on turrets and B26 pilot station but not the same shape.
No.2 has a side (?) hinge and the following no’s DHY 540, Inspection stamp of PME in a circle with the inspectors number, RHY 763, HIH NA40, AHY 788 on hinge.
No.3 has 3915 and and inspection stamp of SR and 12 in a circle
No.4 I think is something like a Rapide but prob wrong.
No’s 2 – 3 have traces of UK interior green. No 4 is black tubing on inside
any help appreciated…cheers Tony

If you scroll down to post 13 of this thread,the list of manufacturers codes gives ‘SR’ as Saunders Roe,so am still guessing that pic 3 has a Saunders roe inspection stamp,but is it from one of their designs or did they do subcontract work ??

Could an SR inspection stamp be from Saunders Roe? (pic 3) DV Window from a windscreen ?
I do not know…pure speculation 😀

I thought so previously but I think Elliot does not

Could no 3 be possibly Whitley?
