Lancaster Flight Engineer Tool Question

Does anyone have information on what tools were part of the Flight Engineer equipment on a Lancaster? Did one look like a twisted coat hangar with a screw driver end? Danny

Guys, if you wouldn’t be so bloody ugly i would marry you. But all jokes aside, this is the identical tool we found in the wreckage of JB221, just ours looks like it was made yesterday. We also found a broken file and a pair of scissors. Danny

Does it look like this?? If yes then it will be the gun stoppage tool that Cees mentioned.

Possibly the instrument to clear stoppages for the turret guns. The one I have also looks like a frustrated coat hanger. Also used by the turretgunner instead of the FE.
