Rob – yes original green and grey paint.

All I know is that it came from Belgium- so possibly an RCAF machine lost on a rhubarb ?

Rob on the P-51A – these were just in front of the cockpit between the firewall and the engine.

The shark fin grill is easily spotted on the starboard side pics.

as here

Technically it is described in the manual as engine accessory compartment top cover.

By a process of elimination I have come to conclude that these are likely to be from a Jumo 213 engined machine.

The most likely being a Ju88 G-6 as shown in the image below.

They would have to be the lower LHS and upper RHS as the other two have access hatch and air intake respectively.

Does anyone have an image of the inside of a G-6 cowl to confirm the structure ?

Calculating the diameter of the original item from the chords length and height — I get a diameter of 1.2m to 1.27m.

Which is close to the diameter of the Luftwaffe std power egg.

Martin thank you for the suggestion.

The Ju88 D undercarriage doors are a similar style but have no latches at the bottom edge.

The Hendon main doors also have no catch and have a different pattern

http://www.cybermodeler.com/aircraft/ju88/images/rafm_ju88_07.jpg

P.S. just to be sure I measured from the plans and the main Ju88 undercarriage doors are under 1m in length.

The rear undercarriage door in the wings is never shown open !@$& but although the length is 1.4m the curve is quite extreme and not present on these panels. Also it only has two hinge castings and no need for catches ? Also no need for asymettry.

Very pleased to see another example of this construction technique in use by the Luftwaffe. The Dornier Pfiel uses a similar undercarriage door.

Thanks Ian – once I worked out what it was and searched under MG151 – I saw your post on the other forum about a piece at Stoneleigh. At least there are a pair now in the Uk.

Just need a Heinkel to fit them in.

I can point you to my store – an F-86 rear canopy…

This was before I polished out most of the scratches.

Any use to you ?

I can send you a current – better pic tomorrow.

Mike I agree about the knob and it is also quote tactile.

The chap thinks it was an A3 Trainer which may have made the departure more stressful..

Hi Keith,
The story about 8 Sqd and the Magic Roundabout is well known, but have you got any detail good photo’s ? Did the aircraft just carry the name or did they have a cartoon as well, also any ideas as to the serial tie-ups.

Thanks DOUGHNUT

Discussed with many pictures here

I see that it was painted as the second of Gleeds cats. The Figaro was used on two Hurricanes and then one Spitfire.

Both Hurricane doors and the cat cut from the Spitfire are in the museum collection. The Swastika gets increasingly frayed with each iteration.

Howard I am happy to support NAM in whatever way possible!

I have had it confirmed from the previous owner that this is from XB244 when it was being dismantled at Chalgrove.
