Could anybody be so kind as to help me identify this hydraulic hand pump. I presume it’s of aircraft origin as it’s of alloy construction. It’s dated 1942 and has plenty of stampings, but nothing i can tie down to a particular manufacturer or aircraft. Thanks in advance.

It certainly has a Vickers (Weybridge) inspection stamp (top right).

That will be a Vickers Hand Pump A.1066 as used on the Wellington.
