We have recently unearthed an undercarriage leg and have absolutely no idea as to what it belongs to. There have been suggestions that, as to the rake angle between the leg and the axle; and the fact that it is entirely made from stainless steel; that it might be from an amphibian.
Any ideas, anyone?

So it’s a little larger than it looks. I have a photo of me holding up this part from the Sea Otter which went ashore on Colonsay, but it was minus the axle and suspension parts.

Thanks; we thought it was a bit Supermarine-ish. I’ll get the measurements and any numbers/insp stamps at the weekend.

How large is it, judging by the lettering it is not very large. Also are there any numbers or inspection marks stamped into it?
