They are the tools used in the stretch forming process. This link shows some in use. http://www.cappsmfg.com/skin-and-leading-edge-stretch-forming/

For reference, these lumps are still around and are indeed TSR.2 skin formers:

I can’t see the pictures since I can’t log in.

However, if they were taken in the open at Brooklands, I could make a wild unseen guess that they show concrete skin formers from the TSR-2 programme. There were certainly lots of them lying about before they built the Bus Museum.

Cannot see anything when I click that link, the forum requires me to register first. Could you explain a bit more, or provide a different link to the images?
