Mystery crash item

Hi,

Looking for an ID on something that has me miffed.

The item has H, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, etc. Not sure what the H denotes, does anyone know what piece of equipment it is from? cockpit I presume.

Thanks

Yeah its a bomb pre-selector box wheel. Found a couple of complete ones myself on a Stirling crash site near Northleach.

Which aircraft number was that ?

It’s one of the wheels from a pre-selector box, one of which was to be found in the bomb-aimer’s compartment of most wartime British bombers.

Is it a wheel out of a bomb selector box? Will look in the loft and spin the wheels to see if any match.
