Unidentified Canopy part?

…my weird side says explosion door from 1936 portaloo ?

😀 😀 😀

Looks like it’s from a 60’s caravan to me… :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Notice the catch / lock, is operated from outside, not aircraft me thinks, first impression is a removable inspection panel from food processing machinery, my weird side says explosion door from 1936 portaloo ? Keith.

Alan – did you ever find out which aircraft your mystery hinged covers came from? Did you send a pic to Roger Marley – if they are tiffy he would be able to say.

Nope, and Iain is having an equally hard time remembering, too! I don’t have Roger’s email addy, would you mind p.m.ing me?

Maybe it’s off a motorcycle sidecar.

Bubble car?

Thought of both of those, too. How about an escape hatch from a Heinkel? (bubble car) 🙂

Bubble car?

also note the barrel lock and hasp at the forward edge……distinctly not aircraft regulation

Agreed. Way too flimsy looking for an aircraft hatch.

I’m guessing 1950/60s, domestic/automotive/agricultural origin.

Something off an old caravan, maybe?

Thanks guys might send him a note

There is no way this item was an aircraft canopy, or part of one.

The craftmanship and construction is way below standard.

A caravan or something. Maybe air field related, but not a flyer.

the fittings are not very sturdy to withstand high speeds I would think. Of course it’s Lancaster of Spitfire, take your pick:D
