Lancaster part Urgent Help Needed

Hi Randy thanks very much! Not sure what it could be from either as it is not familiar to me.

Hi Peter.

I don’t recall seeing this item anywhere on VRA, although I could be wrong.

Randy.

I have a picture sent of the foot pedals from Turretboy and it doenst appear to be from these?

It look like part of the later foot pads on the range control pedals in the rear turret of Lancs.

I will ask about the inspection stamps. It has rivets in the leading edge of it as well.

I my view it looks very much like something from the 1970’s or even newer. The number is the casting is just that, the casting p/n, when machined and had parts added to it it will be given a new number. The paint finish looks very Boeing like, but I may be completely wrong.
What do the inspection stamps say, I cannot read them in the photo.

I am now completely confused, you mentioned the brake lever before pursuing the identity of the part pictured. Anyway like i said if its a heavy bomber wreck there would be tons of stuff covered in constructors part numbers. Why the big secret about the enquiry? it hardly seems urgent considering you already mentioned it on another thread. I suppose i ought to be careful I might get another infraction to add to the other two you gave me and I am still confused about. :confused::confused::confused::confused:

Where’s Fluffy – he should know if it’s lanc or not.

I am not at work untill the New Year will look at our F part number drawings then if you can wait that long.

Actually yes it did as it wasnt until later that I was sent a pic of the brake lever. There was some confusion as this wreck was reported as being a Stirling hence the question about that 83F part. alot of the small parts found were common to the other heavy bomber types the RAF had. Once the wheel brake handle was found it was easy to identify.

Then the question didnt really need asking…..!

Bruce the brake lever assembly from the control wheel is a dead giveaway.

No, I dont think you can guess anything from a partial number like that. Its too ambiguous.

I think I would want a bit more evidence than that – a Merlin engine might be a start!

Bruce

I don’t recognize it but the part number matches up and this coupled with other lanc relatd items confirms it is a lanc wrecksite.

Im agree it doesnt look like a British part at all to me, it may be its simply a coinidence that the part nos appears lanc its certainly not part of the trailing edge.

This is a casting not an angle. Angles in my experience are usually made of sheet aluminium, although I’m sure there are exceptions.

Where’s Fluffy – he should know if it’s lanc or not.

You didn’t Alan did.

Im not saying its port wing.

Thanks Graham I dont have detailed tech manuals parts listings so if it is port wing then that nails it down to aircraft type.

The part number is not shown on the drawing you have to look it up. The Lancaster has a very complicated parts numbering system, there are four pages just explaining how to locate the numbers. Basically you have to locate the part on the drawing and then look up the number. To find a small piece like you have would take hours if not days. Every bolt and washer has an individual number.

Graham I dont see the part would it be number 42?
