For completeness – where it appears to go!
Howard email sent back it is a perfect match for the port upper middle panel that you have as a blank.
Do you want it foc ?
Thanks Howard – much appreciated.
When cleaned the panel reads MOBX Z with the Z painted over and a U underneath.
Excellent Peter – I really like the match on the bulkhead image..
Casting and bulkhead
Lastly a piece of casting and a bulkhead.
Bulkhead only has a 36K inspectors stamp on the rib at the rear.
The casting is the only part with an Avro R3 inspectors stamp.
Structure
A piece of internal structure – with an inked number on the front of 53 — 3798
several stamps inside the structures as well as on the bracing sections.
32E3708
44F 37XX
6 x S3072
Next a couple of aluminium tanks – from two separate aircraft.
Only stamp is on the inside casting of the red one
The larger one has flak damage but no markings
I received some more parts from this dig and I attach a couple of photos.
One of the perspex section has some specific opaque sections. – Was this from the canopy or from the dive bombing floor window ?
Several airframe, instrument and engine parts all luftwaffe and Junkers with some inspectors stamps but few Ju87 direct stamps – one of the engine pieces has 87 stamps. One of the parts has FI50971 part numbers on it.
Please excuse the Canadian Bombsight “D” compass in lower LHS its new gasket was just drying at the side of my desk.
Just looks a little too complicated for a home made piece

Also look like Curtiss spinners but way too small and uncomplicated surely for a B29.
Cussler – hmm the Devils Gate with a picture of a Ju88 and C-47 on the front cover – what did they find – a Connie.
Not to mention the British Royal Army parking a tank on the East Coast main line and the Beefeaters at Buckingham Palace.
It is also a clock – not a lump of metal.
Clocks do sometimes stop working and if being sold as working – would prompt stopping of the sale until it was repaired.
But perhaps I am being too generous.
Thanks Mike – no problem to wait for your next trip to the barn..
Thank you Cees
Thanks Michael.
