In addition to producing aircraft, Fairchild also made cameras, so it is entirely possible that it is from a camera fitted to another aircraft type.

Well, most of the Fairchilds in England were F-24s of course. I own one, and was working on it today, but don’t recognize the part. You might try Jamie Treat on the FB page or forum.

The edges are not clear in the photo. Is it a broken part, some round thing that was larger?

On another Fairchild note, what’s this?

My effort today...
