Can anyone help Identify some of the parts? The armor plate is thought to be halifax but I am at a loss to Identify the small window and the wingtip.
Data plate on wing tip reads:
WING TIP PORT
DRG NO C123??63
SERIAL NO PSC41H429874
inspection stamp:
4 letters (unredable, seem to be c’s or o’s)
977 (below)

Tangmere, I think the window is discolored, it is possibly german as there was also a luftwaffe fuel tank in the same area.

Not much help, but the corrugated rectangles are Merlin flame trap “sandwich” material. It is common to find them by the hundred on some wreck sites when the Merlin has broken up.
Is the window discoloured, or is it really yellow? It looks familiar. There is something similar on the cockpit of the Beaufighter but not sure if it is quite like this. I will have to dig mine out to compare!

I forgot to add the pics of the Halifax Armor plate.
