I think Ant, in the original list of postings (#21), was on the right track. See the markings on the picture below of Dayton’s pre ‘restoration’ Hurricane compared with those at #10. Although they show different sides of the fuselage the marking style is the same in all respects, as is the camouflage pattern.

Large parts from this Battle and Tomahawks also recovered from the larkhill ranges …. were seen in a scrapyard at Baldock ….

Battle wing at Baldock 1975. Possible underwing numbers, including a 5, on the right side of the photo?

Foray- Let me know if you find that “special washer”- I wouldn’t mind seeing a photo of it.

Will do when the complete (except split pin) Hurricane rear spar unit below comes apart. It’s very similar to the example in Windhover’s photo (#12), but of course the part number is different. The bolt number is A74233, as best I can read it but the stamping is very poor. The last two digits might be 55.

That would make it P2902, which is still under rebuild and so not yet flown. Don’t recognise the item though.

Are there any aircraft parts, in museums, of the aircraft shot down on this day?
Do any (bits) of the low level Dorniers survive?

Norfolk & Suffolk Aviation Museum have parts of the rear fuselage of ex 257 Sqdn Hurricane P3708 on display – a work in progress (http://www.waltonnaze.demon.co.uk/print/restoration.html).

This sample is unverified, as no knowledge of the Hurricane model or aircraft identification is known. It was described as a piece of wreckage from a Hurricane crash in Scotland. Certainly the piece came from the UK and is consistent with Hawker construction. The DTD 166 stainless fishplate has the part number B104964, and I hope that folk more familiar with the Hurricane design can verify this part number and the location of the remnant within the fuselage design. I understand that the Hurricane used 3% Nickel T50 tube in the fuselage, but this remnant reported tube composition results consistent with SAE 8630, about 1% Chromium and 0.4% Nickel. So the astonishing conclusion is that this piece of Hurricane crashed in Scotland is part of a CCF Hurricane built after early to mid 1942, when the US SAE 4130 standard was changed to SAE 8630 across the board. So here we may have a means for the forensic differentiation of otherwise similar UK and CCF Hurricane components that may have tube adhering to them.

Your sample is part of the engine bearer assembly – starboard side, rear, engine support point. Typical of the longer nosed Merlin XX fit. The inspection stamp on the stainless plate is not clear (might be clearer on the other plate?) but the bolts look Canadian, so maybe Canadian MkXII. Please see PM.
