Thank you both for your reply”s . Very interesting. 

In regard to Spitfire parts manual yes Spitfires do have them.

If not there I ve heard Hendon has it as well.

If I bump into someone with Spitfire bits next time I’m getting flints ID’ed at the Ashmolean, I’ll say “Hello”!

I can’t help with the licence (sadly, the people I could name who would know I don’t think post any more), but I can say – and you’ve probably worked this out yourself – that the 20mm cannon shell cases along with the .303 case are absolutely right for a Mk Vb Spitfire, which would have carried 2 20mm cannon and 4 .303 machine guns.

Hi I have shown  my brother the aircraft parts I have found and he think’s   I need a licence to dig on this land because I am finding crashed aircraft  parts. Is this correct ?. The land owner has given me permission to metal detect on his land and is happy with the finds I’m giving him  . I am  not actually looking for aircraft parts but I  am happy to find them as they are very historic   . I take all my artifacts to the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford to be logged on The Portable Antiquities site but these aircraft parts fall  into a different category.  Can anyone please advise me the correct route to take and whether I do need to speak to anyone about obtaining a licence.

Best regards Danny.

Here are the pictures.

I have posted some pictures of tonight find’s.  I am mainly  looking for Medieval,  Saxon and Roman artifacts but must say I’m really enjoying finding these Spitfire parts.

Some very nice finds there Milkcup. Please keep posting photos of anything you find.

Sorry this is the photo I was surprised to have attached.  I’m not sure whats happening with my phone.

Sorry two  of my pictures didn’t load.

Thanks to everybody that has replied to my recent  posts. I can see you are  definitely experts on Historical Military aircrafts and aviation. This is only the second time I have found aircraft parts during my 6 years  metal detecting. I went again  yesterday to my  friends land and unintentionally found more of what I think are Spitfire parts. I have tried to 

 identify the parts online  but have had  no success so far. Am I right in saying the A M and crown image  on some of the parts refer to The  Air Ministry . I will post more pictures online if I find any other similar items in the future.

Best regards Danny 

Just out of general interest – there are some wonderful good quality shots taken in and around the Castle Bromwich Factory by an  employee,inc a couple of Desford and Cosford.

I almost get agoraphobia whenever I look at the picture of the Spitfire Final Assy Shop,my knees ache at the thought of walking the whole length of it LOL.

Thanks bazv, I thought initially CB = Castle Bromwich, it was the DS that threw me but what you say makes sense.

Or perhaps ‘Castle Bromwich Detail Shop’ ?

Small components/parts were often manufactured/assembled in a Detail Shop.

Sometimes by personnel classified as ‘Detail Fitters’ because it was  was a less skilled/narrower job ‘description’.

We had ‘Detail Fitters’ at Wastospace,because of my qualifications/experience I was employed as a ‘Skilled Fitter’ – and because I had a much wider job description/scope on various aircraft. 

As I alluded to in Post Number 11…

CBDS will be Castle Bromwich Shadow Factory related (perhaps something like Castle Bromwich Design Standard ?)

To support that view – here is a pic from Spitfire Spares.com

Thanks Danny 

Here is the Information I found on line today about the spitfire.http://aircrewremembered.com/godlewski-sylwester.html

Yes that is a Spitfire part, it has the 300 numbers. What was the gen on the Spitfire that crashed? Nice finds by the way.

I went today for another metal detect and found a small stamped aluminium bracket. I  found an article  online today about a Spitfire that crashed in 1942 not to far away . I suspect these parts  must be from  that spitfire ? . 

Regards Danny.

CB = Castle Bromwich ?? (Shadow Factory/Airfield)
