Any ideas?

😀 very good, sadly no help in identifying its origin though. Nice to see Steve Young is still remebered if only for his catch phrase, with a sense of humour like that he made himself hard to forget really.

I’m sorry I should have pointed out that the joint is (I think) aluminium. A light soft metal anyway and much of what appears to be corrosion is actually scratch marks from it being dragged across a hard surface (a road or runway possibly). I’m not sure about the pipe without metalurgical testing but I thnk it is steel. What confuses me is the carbon deposit inside it, rather like exhaust soot. Of course if it was a fuel pipe and the parent machine suffered a fuel fire that would explain things.
Thanks for your input anyway, at least you have confirmed my theory about the likely things it conveyed. Actually thinking a bit more the size is also in keeping with tank oil pipes. I’ve got myself thinking now as to what type of tank. I would imagine that the BS 321 bit is probably a British Standards number so if it came from an AFV there is every chance that it is British.

H’mm-!!!!

Mike,
Can’t quite work out whether pipe is made out of steel or tungum.

It’s a big size allright denoting Fuel or coolant and what looks like a very corroded Pipe to pipe Avery Hardol Joint Coupling.

beyond that , I know not. :confused:
