I have been passed several bit of Lancaster from known 44 and 101 squadron aircraft recoveries.
I would appreciate assistance with where on the aircraft these parts come from.
I start with an engine cowl.
It has some nice stamps on the ribs inside.
631670BA DR24248
as well as a few more indistinct markings.
Unlike a cowl I had previously – this one appears to have had a hatch/opening just at the break.

Panel with cutout circle
The panel with the round cutout circle is from the port side aft bomb bay bulkhead and the circle is for the round windows to check for hang up bombs.

Casting and bulkhead
Lastly a piece of casting and a bulkhead.
Bulkhead only has a 36K inspectors stamp on the rib at the rear.
The casting is the only part with an Avro R3 inspectors stamp.
