Can anyone tell me what 10B/10591 refers to? chunk of curving smashed Bakelite? (don’t know how large it originally was) with AcrownM and a large circular screw fitting, the head of which seems to be some kind of ‘fibre’ with actual screw part through rest being metal as its rusted/corroded.
From a 1944 Stirling crash.
Did wonder if it was the remains of housing for DF loop? or on top of fuselage? the teardrop shaped item?

Hi Bill, don’t know if you are still around but that’s exactly what it is

From the earlier thread, this would appear to be part of nose+nose bolt from a type 3? if confirmed, I can clean it up a bit more and display with description.
I also have a Pitot tube and half a turret hand grip control (very poor condition) somewhere.

PICS
From LK561 , 30++ years ago, still at school!
gave it a quick clean,( never noticed the small, circular ‘pin’ before, some kind of locking pin?) I guess this chunk is from the nose of the complete unit?

Hi Bill
And if it had been complete we’d have been in your debt indefinitely 🙂
Which crash is it from btw?
regards
john

AH! I had thought there had been a thread SOMEWHERE on a Forum.
Seems to answer my question but I will post a pic anyway
How I wish it was complete and not just a relic….would DEFINITELY have donated it to the Stirling Project.
Could put it on the Ebay, £10.000?!!!:dev2:

The answer is in this very useful thread, particularly the scans provided by TerryP:-

Scramble Bill,
10B = Radio (Wireless and Radar) Aerial and Mast Equipment and Insulators. I cannot trace the suffix number you quote in the Lancaster Parts List. Your part may therefore be specific to a Stirling rather than a generic type. Can you provide a picture?
