What a nice Sunday drive to a farm sale leads to – the blue panels are Neptune, the big unit that there is a few pics of was a mystery until just now with someone believing it to be an Anson Carb. Quite a few of these were rescued from Tocumwal after the war and have been stored ever since. Also scored a Boomerang Ammo Chute (thanks Chris for the ID from the pic) The Dunlop AHO374 is attached to all the stuff in the background. Yet to determine if its 374/1 or 374/2
But with the other pics if anyone can ID parts I would be grateful. The Hydraulic motor with the green/white actuator (blurred in the background) is a Vickers/Lockheed Bomb Door Actuator Primary – any guesses to what aircraft?

Update to the Neptune panels – I found they came from A89-270 which was scrapped at Laverton in 1977. Would think quite a few parts from these boxes are indeed Neptune…others still yet to be ID’d

The triple brake dial looks quite nice, although one of the fixing “ears” has gone. I think I can see one of the Dunlop valves behind?
Yeah annoying that the ear is broekn, but I have a spare already that is cactus internally but intact on the outer so can use that to replace the casing. That must be the valves behind it – there is a pair with the words Brake Supply on each, and there’s a part number AH919 on the rear.
All jammed in with tractor parts no less……
