    Hi mmitch
    Thanks for the information as I said it is only an assumption on my part that the crash site is in the gravesend area I may be miles out.
    Thanks again

    If you look back on my earlier Thread which I would like you to read, titled “Merlin Identification Help” on the 13/12 Saturday which was answered very professionally by Merlin Pete you will see that my idea of location is based purely on assumption I brought these couple of bits at a military fair ages ago and was told by the seller he got them from a retired school teacher who lived in the gravesend area and that is where the assumption is based, They could come from anywhere and not necessarily from a excavation either and I also do not have a clue who either the seller or the original owner are I wish I did I could ask them the questions . Also if you check Merlin Petes answer you will see he has checked with RR Heritage and the parts and they are not logged to a airframe.

    Hi Pete

    Thanks for the information at least I can give the parts some identity. The person I got them from told me he had got them from a retired school teacher who had said that they came from a crash site in the Gravesend area but he was not sure exactly where but at least I can narrow it down to a few excavations. It will give me a start for my next thread. Thanks again for all your help and the information hope to speak in the future

    Regards

    Ken

    Hi Pete

    Thank you for the welcome and information; I would really appreciate if you could get the build data and check with the Rolls Royce trust for me. The parts are being mounted and going on display in my friends workshop office as he owns a company that builds engines these parts have created a lot of interest. So any information that could be added to the display would be great. I was hoping one of the numbers on the casing was the engine number. Is the D9087 a ministry number? Thanks again and I shall look forward to your reply

    Ken
