Hi Gordon
The last part number is for part of the Whitleys heating system. Looks like a good find.
I’ve dropped you that email.
Regards
Elliott

Gordon – in an ideal world parts are marked with the inspectors stamp and the part numbers.
See this thread for a good list

AW 158 is the Armstrong Whitworth Inspectors stamp.
The SP part numbers were used on Whitleys (also on Albemarles). Although most Albemarle parts should be AW.
Post war AW made parts for other companies.
It certainly doesn’t sound Spitfire!
