guess what this is

At a glance I’d say it’s a carburettor from a rather large aero engine, a Merlin perhaps? On second thoughts, not a carb but very likely part of the induction system of aforesaid aero engine.

NO. AS IT IS ON A HISTORIC AVAITION SITE THAT SHOULD GIVE YOU A CLUE.

Ahhh, right, so that means it is something historical and to do with aviation then?
