Unknown british aircraft parts from crash site

Hi all,

on my forum we have some parts of a in midair exploded british aircraft, possible Short Stirling III.

One of the parts is stamped with “11D2092”, another part with “7D1925” and a oval stamp with “RY55”. I have no idea about the typ of aircraft :rolleyes:

Maybe one of you could help ?

Here the link to the photos: http://www.iphpbb.com/board/ftopic-81805422nx79380-1437.html

The RY indicates that the a/c was built by Avro at their Yeadon plant near Leeds.
