Hi can anyone help with identifying a few relics that i puchased from an antiques fair, i managed to i.d. most but a little stuck on these..
The lever has an inspection stamp that reads in circled

would anyone know what aircraft this stamp may of been used for?
The 2 plates read

I agree with Nick, the last item is a rocker cover. It is certainly very similar to one off a Cheetah. I have always found numbers on Cheetah rocker covers.
I do apologise Ericmonk as Alan clark states yes it is certainly a rocker cover for a siddeley Cheetah engine,( in the same box of relics was a Cheetah engine engine plate)
Also im now thinking the plate with Air Filler Brakes/ Air Filler Gun are from an Anson as exactly the same disign as a couple of other Anson plates i have.
Thanks again..

AHA! There it is. British Patent 480082 (1937) refers to Dannert wire. An oil-tempered barbed wire developed during WW1. Much harder to cut than
ordinary barbed wire. Ironically, it was German national Horst Dannert who developed this wire into self-supporting concertinas. An individual Dannert wire concertina was compressable as a one-man-carried-coil and capable of stretching to 50 feet using only three fixations.
Where spotted ericmonk, no wonder i couldnt find it in the Aviation field..

Hi thankyou for your replys. The photos 3 and 4 did come with a Merlin exhaust relic, so could well be Hurricane.
Ref the last 2 photos the photos are a little mis leading as the size of the relic is around 5″ x 2″

The Rendan tag does not seem to be aviation related per se. See http://pillboxesinsuffolk.blogspot.nl/2010_05_01_archive.html (24 May 2010) and http://www.metaldetectingforum.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=121&t=33495 describing similar finds. The company was amongst other things known for making barbed wire and held several patents for this.

3 & 4 are Hurricane structure, I’d say.
