Parts ID help needed. Mossie ??

Can any one help with identifying the following parts.
The first is stamped with the numbers 9838r199A and also F7

The second item has 98/38/S575 stamped on one of the black handles and also has ?838s299 and ?838S300. Also has a circle with what looks like an MA 266 stamp

I’m assuming Mossie because of the 98 ?

Damn, you’ve got me on these – I would suggest that the first is a radio or IFF tray, but cant be more specific. The hoop? No idea! Sorry.

Yet more Mossie bits ( I believe)
First item looks like an equipment mounting stand. No apparent part number. Some of the legs have angled feet to attach to a sloping part of the aircraft. I would assume it probably goes somewhere behind the pilot/co pilot.
The second item is obviously a hoop. Its complete as each end has a fixing eye. Haven’t got a clue where this would fit in.
Finally beginning to run out of Mossi bits but you never know !!

First one is a pilots floorboard

Next is a glareshield just below the windscreen on a bomber

The pipework relates to the fuel pressure valve in the back of the bomb bay.

More bits again

More bits again
First one is a little odd. No markings that I can see . Feels like its made of paxolin or some form of compressed material. Certainly not metal of any kind. Its curved and measures approximately 17 inches by 9 inches.
2nd item it some form of hinged flap Part number N986260. Something to do with electrics supposedly. Measures 20 inches by 5 inches
Last items. Metal, quite delicate with a screw end. Some sort of frame or engine pipes?? De Icer tubes??

It is a bomb door hinge – or possible a weapons bay hinge – they are all different from memory, and the curvature changes.

The centre item is a cover plate for the undercarriage selector, for a Fighter aircraft (no bomb door selection)

Hi Flyingblind,
Yes, somewhere I have a lh instrument panel drawing for a mosquito FB6. Send me a pm, and I will scan it.

Still more bits to come when I can find the time to photograph them. Didn’t think they would be so hard to identify though. Oh for a manual !!

More Mossie parts I’ve come across. The chassis lever plate cover is self explanatory but Im not sure about the other item.
Clearly its a hinge bracket/arm but I don’t know to what. I thought it may be bomb bay door but it doesn’t seem to have the correct curvature The part number is B984669.
Any ideas??
I may be getting carried away, but has anyone got a template or plan for the left hand instrument for a Mossie?

Flying blind – its part of the cockpit heater system. It goes behind the heater radiator on the wing, and the little door on the side can be opened to allow warm air into the cockpit. You also have a set of control locks there.

More Mossie parts again.
Obviously another seat and then a large item which I initially thought was some sort ammo chute. However the parts numbers are R9888, R9888A and R98110 which would indicate something to do with the Radio ?? Any ideas what it actually is and its function ?
Haven’t managed to clean the other bits yet

Does the letter that appears before the number 98 actually relate to any in specific. i.e does it identify what part of the aircraft the part comes from such as electrical. undercarriage, tail plane etc. Surely they wouldn’t just randomly select a letter for ID purposes ?
If the number does relate to specific part of the aircraft, has anyone got the code list

This item is intriguing. It has a part number of S982599A
As you can see from the photo the wood hasn’t been snapped at the end it appears to be as it was made. Not sure how this would quite fit in on the aircraft ?

The big, green angular thing on the left of the first picture a couple of posts up is a bomb door stiffener – for 4000lb extended bomb doors.
