Gentlemen.
I wonder if anyone can identify this window which I take to be a DV Window. Each side measures 220 mm. Hinged and secured by some sort of locking nut which would clamp down on two brackets.
I can’t tell if it would have been positioned with the hinge top or bottom. There are two strips of masking tape which state Hurricane Cockpit, Biggin Hill. Clearly it is not.
Any ideas?
Best regards,
Simon

At first I thought it was Whitley which has a similar window. The one I found had HDA (High Duty Alloy) markings on it.

Yes, lanners. Isn’t it.
Defo Anson. No doubt.

No part numbers I can find but these may be obscured under the black paint

It certainly looks Anson, but can I ask if there are any part numbers on it pls?

Thanks Mike. Isn’t that always the way!
Best regards,

That looks like a starboard DV window you have, lanners. Pity it wasn’t a port side as they need one for the very cockpit you have in your first photo (G-AGPG at Avro Heritage Museum).
You can just see that it is missing, with the threaded eyebolts sticking out at the bottom without the knobs. There’s a piece of perspex in there at the moment.

It looks to me as though you may have got it in one
Many thanks
