Hi Picked these bits up today. The larger two both have serials on the back XE673 and WT745 which make them both Hunter. There is quite a detailed history of WT745 available not so much for XE673 unless anyone here can add anything?
Where abouts would they have been on the aircraft?
Also do the other bits look like they are Hunter related?

A pleasure to do business with you James, & here is said ejector seat, from XE673, it is a Martin Baker Mk2H/AN, A N being my initials, so it was meant to be… A lot of work to do it yet, & parts to find, but its getting there.

many thanks to James & Duncan. I have found out that it is an access panel that fits on the port fuselage, under the wing fillet.
Andy you are welcome. Pleased it is reunited with other bits of the airframe and that you have been able to identify whereabouts it would have gone.

Okay, the panel from XE673 is now in my posession, many thanks to James & Duncan. I have found out that it is an access panel that fits on the port fuselage, under the wing fillet.
I have received a picture from the gentleman who owns Miss Demeanour, the rather pretty Hunter, which shows the location, it is the panel hidden under the wing fillet, in the foreground of the picture, you can see the bottom third of the panel. When I work out how to upload pictures from the laptop, I will post it here.

My first post here, but so glad I found this section.
I have the ejector seat from XE673, would you be interested in selling the panel from that aircraft?
For info, XE673 was converted from an F4, to a GA11 for the fleet air arm. She served with 738 Sqn, at Lossiemouth, but was scrapped in 1990.

It’s a long time since I looked closely at a Hunter, and even longer since I worked on one but the two larger ones look as if they might be from the wing root area, the others could be from almost anywhere as the Hunter had lots of panels like these.
