cheers Ross.

What does the equipment look like? I take it the field would need to be free from crops befor it could be used.

Just ordered death cert for Cheyne, should be here next week sometime.

By the way (excuse the ignorance) what does a mag survey involve, and what sort of results can it give.

That sounds like a good idea Adrian. Whats the easiest way of getting hold of the death certificates.

I see a pattern emerging here. When i spoke with a local who witnessed the dig they told me “They made a right mess”. According to one of the diggers the farmer had only given them one day access to the field and that is why it was dug up in such a hurry. I have since spoken with the farmer, who informed me that this was not correct and the actual reason was that they did not want to pay for two days hire of a JCB.

It does make me wonder what has been left behind as all of the items i have found have been on the surface after ploughing.

Thanks once again chaps.

Still struggling to identify a couple of pieces though. The round peice in the second picture (top of the page) is threaded underneath it appears to be some sort of filler cap part no DN584. Also the 4th photo top of page,the item in the bottom right corner is made from brass.

I know a certain spitfire restoration company used to purchase their anti slip walkway from a company called 3M. They used to do a range of sizes and colours, even translusant.

Many thanks to everyone who has inputed so far your knowledge amazes me and has been a great help. So here are a few more pieces i have found and would appreciate any help with their identity.
The last photo shows two pieces that i found in the same area as the rest of the finds but am not sure if they are part of the A/C. The round piece looks as though it may have come from a modern phone reciever but how it got where it was is anyones guess. I originally thought the small cog was from a bicycle until i noticed that the teeth were alot smaller than that of my two year olds bike.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Ps Neil, I have followed your advise from the other forum but am still waiting for replies.

What i know so far is that on the 3rd of August 1941 two hurricans ser no’s R4101 and W9149 from 52 OTU based at Debden were practising dog fighting over Great Sampford in Essex. The two planes collided and crashed in nearby locations with both pilots being killed. The pilots were Ian Cheyne and William Flemming, both from New Zealand. I have not seen the accident report for this incident but am intrested to know which A/C the peices i have found are from and which of the two pilots were flying it.
