ID Halifax or Lancaster part

Adrian,

As it is to do with bomb loading, it’s going to be found in the fuselage, over the bomb bay. On the fuselage floor, at one of the bomb lifting points.

Greg, yes.

Hi Peter,

That’s realy fantastic!!! Do you have a drawing of the wing/fuselage section where I can find this part??
Regards,
Adrian

Found it.. Taken from AP 2062 A
part number 15090 comes up as Pad for Front Winch Reaction Socket from the Wing/Fuselage centre section

Yes, as Cees says – R3 is Lanc

R3 = Lancaster

Cees

Nope!!!! Nothing at all.

Is there any signs of internal threads in that hole?

It’s very hard to find a part number because of the heavy corrosion of the part but I see an oval stamp with “R3″and underneath a number “23?” Above this oval stamp I found a number W 797? Maybe more numbers but corroded.
Cheers and Many Thanks for your reply
Adrian

Hopefully someone will ID it but if not, go over it with an abrasive pad or get it blasted and you should find a part number. This will usually be enough to ID the aircraft.
