Are These Aircraft Parts I Have Found?

I think it aircraft

Cool. The head phones panel is American having two sockets for each set. Other bit looks Welly

Do you know if the headphones panel is aircraft related or just junk?

ww2 wellington bomber wing spar joint(?) with closeups of part numbers and inspection stamp, better condition this one

back to the beach today, some newly washed up bits, multiple socket thing isint plastic I think, aircraft related? the corroded relic is the part where the piston is held on the engine?

Do these signs look familiar to anyone? apparently taken from a german ww2 airfield after the war, ive had them for years, odd that theres traces of spilled black paint I think is stained on it dried up, been bugging me not knowing what this DY and number signify s

For if anyones interested I may have identified specific wellington parts that I have found, heres a photo of all the similar looking wellington parts all layed out, I recently bought the book haynes vickers wellington owners workshop manual, fantastic book so far so from that book I think I may recognise the bits I have with the U shape on the end as if they clip onto something and they look just like the bomb bay hinges from the books photograph:

Hi Brataccas,
Aaaaahhhgggg !!!! Some you win , some you lose, but my thoughts entirely that this looked like an old lorry or car sub frame with the old type shocko’s. But thanks for getting out there and digging it up. John Green certainly nailed it. Brilliant conclusion guys.

I am far from an expert – that was just a bit of guesswork and googling on my part. You can just make out the matching lettering of the name LURVAX and TYPE in your picture which compares perfectly to the clearer images.

That image was from an old ebay ad stating that such were found on a Flying Standard 9 so there is possibly a subtle hint of something aeronautical about your collection of scrap.

Flying nines were made between 1937 and 1940 which seems to fit well with this bit of info from Grace’s Guide to British Industrial History:

Luvax

of Warple Way, Acton, London, W3

Manufacturers and suppliers in Great Britain.

1937 Shock absorbers.

1943 Lucas moved their Luvax shock absorber interest into a new division which became Girling Ltd.

Happy future explorations…

that matches cheers john, any idea what model of car those shock absorbers would fit onto? and what era of car etc

Car shock absorber…

As much as Im hate to spoil your fun and enjoymnent, I think you have found what might have once been referred to as an ‘old bomb’ rather than a bomber…

Looks more like a car frame? front upright and spindle? and the moving lever looks like a lever arm shock and link?

I’m no expert, but I thought the same – a car/van/lorry chassis. In pic 4 it looks like a car ball joint…

Ive tried digging this metal out today, its massive this piece, have revealed a moving lever, does my video updates give a clue to what it is?

I will return to it tomorrow morning. If you’re curious I made an imgur album with all the photos I took of these parts:

Thanks for sharing the photos; a great find. Must get myself back there sometime soon.

Re-looked at your video of “The Big Lump” and around the “Knuckle” seems to be some sort of fibreglass shroud thats ripped,etc. (Unless I’m mistaken here ).

So whatever it is some time tapping at the concretion holding stones in place,using an Ice pick type hammer should shift C*** without any damage and still worth digging it out. Intriguing M8. Best of luck with it. I didn’t realize there is a bomb hoist in there, think I’ve got my U/C specs on—-lol !!!

Hi again Brattacus,
That big lump 1/2 buried under sand at the beach in your you tube Video (post 226 ) looks to me like an Undercarriage leg . the bit we can see possibly being a knuckle joint and its almost certainly joined to the other part further away, as Anon says poss. geodetic structure. That is definately worth a digging up and retrieve session with some like minded pals. In fact a windy barbeque and couple of beers would help too. Be interesting to see it clear of the debris and it’ll surely be id’d by slueths in here.

I dunno if id risk damaging it if I tried to remove the rocks stuck onto it(?) did you notice the bomb hoist in the middle of the parts?

First (and only) thought; Wellington geodetic structure.

other people say the same, bomb hoist present…

this an aircraft tyre? dunlop 16×4 51080, quite skinny…
