Can anyone identify where on the mossie these parts are from ?
Just arrived from Germany.

Thank you Bruce.
I have some similar sections of tanks from a Lancaster so I assumed they were oil tanks for a Merlin.

Photo 1 shows pieces of fuel tank, which you knew!
Photo 2 is parts of an engine, and a coolant manifold close to one radiator
Photo 3 may have some canopy parts, but not quite sure.
Photo 5 shows pieces of the radiator cover panel (hence the red paint)
Photo 7 shows the remains of the lower cowling intake screen,

Hi Brian
Top of the pile in picture 7 looks like part of the air intake fence outer rubber.
Cheers
Will.

Thanks chaps – the pic 1 lower brass piece is threaded and there are traces of red paint around the edge if it helps.
The large engine pipe has 50 lbs marked on it.

Hi Brian,
Pic. 1 lower item looks like a filler neck ( Open line ) for oil/ coolant / or even fuel to me. Pic. 6 could well have pitot static light alloy pipes amongst that bundle. The centre pipe with what looks like a valve of some sort on top end could be from a very low pressure part of a pneumatic system. Nice clear pics.

Photo 4, wood/resin looks to have a 20mm Hispano feed roller on the left, Brian. Bottom right on the the engine parts looks like sump. Can’t really help with anything else.
