Interesting parts Hurricane?

Thanks for that British parts numbers are a total minefield Supermarine seem to have the only sensible system, and of coarse the germans.

Interesting thanks I have few Hawker brackets and they all start with an A followed by a code the text on the bomb bracket looked similar to other Hurricane pieces i have seen particularly on the coolant access panel. but it appears they are Sunderland.

Hi Graham

Only the part numbers for small Hawker components, would start with an A, & there would be at least 4 numbers after the letter eg- A9979, the problem is that several companies started off by giving their components, part numbers prefixed by an A, such as Sopwith “Hawkers”, & the Royal Aircraft Factory.

Have done a bit of re search based on the info supplied above, the Sunderland had a sliding bomb rack so presumably the bomb control is for that also had an aux engine for pumping the bilges so my best guess is the lever controls that, now just need pics in situ!

Yup, S25 = Sunderland.

Can’t see any Hawker part numbers on it, but for some reason S25 reminds me of a Short’s part number “Sunderland ???”.

Graham – it does not look to be a part of the bomb carrier for the Mk IIB Hurricane (‘Hurri-bomber – max 500LB load), pretty sure on that.
