Hi all,
Wondering if anybody can help me out here.
Have what looks like part of the remains of a Vampire Mk5 u/c leg.
2 sets of numbers and letters cast into the bit read as follows…………
CAZ2R(8)0.
5
800184
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Sorry I dont have any pics of the piece.

Thanks so far,
Will see if I can find anymore numbers/letters on it and let you know.

Nothing there that specifically identifies it as Vampire.
You’ll have to take some pictures!
Vampire parts numbers start with a letter, which denotes where it goes on the aircraft, followed by 00 (the type number), followed by a further 3 or 4 numbers.
An example might be A001234.
It gets more complicated with DH113 and DH115, as they used a different numbering system, but still have a lot of DH100 parts (as do all of the DH112 series)
