Found this last night, at the site of a Spitfire MU, pretty much all the stuff we have found has been Spit, but there were a few Blenhiems broken upo there too…………….
i know the disk panel is tail fin, but left it in the photo to give the size of the small box, it looks very much like the construction of the map box.
any ideas ?

I have just been able to find some numbers and an inspection stamp………….
In a circle B. A. P. 18. That’s the ‘B’ at 9 o’clock, the ‘A’ at 12 o’clock and the ‘P’ at 3 o’clock. With the 18 at the bottom
There is then a number stamp reading 77472/3
Also on the top of the lid there is evidence of a instruction plate but that’s gone.
So could it be Defiant ?
Cheers

Hi Julian
Do you think that the sections would be big enough to hold Coffman starter cartridges for the MkII?
Cheers

Just suggestions
Looks like some sort of spare bulb case – if so not Spitfire as this only had a spare gunsight bulb bracket with three holes / fittings for the bulbs to engage into and no cover. If I recall correctly the Mustang (or at lease the later ones) did have a small spare gunsight bulb locker to the right side of the cockpit?, though all aluminium and not as sturdy as this one – is it steel? + the Mustang one (and probably most others in cockpits?) had an engraved lid / cover clearly stating what was inside. Perhaps it is from a vehicle (AFV?) or ground equipment (signalling lamp set?) – As titled – Just suggestions….
