Spent a happy hour searching a field where “wooden planes” had been burned in the big post war scrapping at Llandow. Lots of armoured windscreen glass, blobs of melted alloy and these bits. The glass would rule out gliders, Ansons etc but does anyone recognise these as Mosquito? No part numbers at all on the stainless panel unfortunately. A4 paper for scale.

Thanks very much Jon and Bruce, a perfect ID, there is even a fragment of the earthing strap shown in the pic. The site is well outside the airfield boundary and the other scrapping fields. I’ll see what else is left! If the feed guide is any use it is available for a nominal swap.

Yes, I’m with Jon – Vampire bits for sure.
Nothing there that looks like a Mossie part.

Pictures of the two bits I mentioned in situ on the Vamp.

Mossie bits?
You need to do some scraping, Ian, and see if you can find a part number.
