A hurricane part to identify

Indeed P2902 rings a bell to me,

here attached a local newspaper showing a picture of the wreck; Article dated 1990 and mentionning that it was found on the beach at Ghyvelde 3 years ago;

In another article, it is mentioned that the pilot was identified and came from Australia to see his machine: his name was Kenneth Mac Glashan.

Thanks

The washers are the same design/standard as the Hurricane Firewall has. However, I dont recognise the part. That might mean I dont have one yet! Has it got an A number?

That would make it P2902, which is still under rebuild and so not yet flown. Don’t recognise the item though.

It was indeed a Hurricane, at Les Moëres airport, a small grass runway near Bray Dunes (Dunkirk suburbs now),

it was found in 1986 or 1987 in the sand, and I remember a flypast issue showing its restoration in UK.

So, guys, any idea?

Cup-holder.

Are you sure Hurricane? A couple of Spifires found on the ‘Dunkirk’ beaches now fly but the Hurricane has not.
