Hello All,
Does anyone recognise the attached part, believed from a Miles Martinet, but could well be a generic part shared with other types. The only markings are E 8 6 in a circle and NM, the curvature at the base could well be damage. Does anyone have any ideas?
Kind regards,
Tim

If it has no identifiable numbers on it, then I seriously doubt that it’s from any thing to do with aviation. Tracability is the name of the game after an accident.

Fabled P-47 Coke bottle holder?

Obviously for holding something spherical. Not sure it is aero, though.

Thanks for the replies, I should add there are no numbers on the item, and its cast alloy.
Cheers Mike

Hello Anne,
Many thanks for the reply and the identification, due to your assistance I have located the part on the harness. Thanks once again and another example of this forum at its best.
Kind regards,
Tim

Not an aircraft part but a clip from an observer’s parachute harness. This holds the clip to which you attach the chest parachute.
