Kindly identified by John (12 jaguar ) as one of four handles that secure the rear upper escape hatch on the Stirling. Kev

You’ll be surprised what we can get working again 😀

Superb. I don’t think it will work again its a bit more knackered than the pictures show but it would make a good pattern.

Most definitely Stirling Kev….
Possibly upper escape hatch
I think you know what my next question is…..:D

Doesnt appear to be B17?? what else was scrapped there?
By: spark plug - 2nd January 2015 at 17:30
Its another part picked up on Stradishall, I suppose it could come from a crash landed aircraft?

It looks American to me with those casting numbers – I’d be more inclined to think B-17/B-25 etc!

Doesn’t appear to be lancaster related…
By: spark plug - 2nd January 2015 at 16:47
thought it was a bit heavy. I was hoping Stirling or Lancaster.

Hmmm, doesnt look like Harvard to me – can’t conceive of where it would actually go. The baggage compartment has a flush ally handle, might be a canopy opening handly but they have a ‘J’ shape and I cant tell from the angle of the pic.

Looks like 119S? , 1198 Not sure , so perhaps a Harvard?

119?
If so, = NA T6, I believe?
