I thought this square stick was unusual. It sold on ebay on Sunday – so I suspect it will surface soon (without the clock)!

You need to get out more, Brian!! 🙂

It was Mrs F.A.’s observation – she studied Textiles at Uni and can’t quite seem to get over it!

The girls frock – the fabric at the rear lower is at right angles to the main pattern. Was this a deliberate fashion from the time or a make do and mend?

Note to self – pay attention between B52 and B25..

To spite myself – a B25 Engine Cowl support with 82 part numbers that we dug up at Silloth..

Mea Culpa

P.S. My daughter is now a student in Cardiff and if Darwinism is true have you developed webbed feet and gills yet ?

Ian – I use this list for US part numbers and It is not showing this as a B52 number.

The most likely from this list is P2V.

What further information do you have ?

I have the similar – but simpler USAAF mk 23 practice bomb – which held a special long shotgun cartridge in the tail.

Elliott there is a Myford 7 and the smaller 10. I am assuming that you are looking for the 7?

I have a very old 10 – older than me..

No lemons were harmed in the restoration of this aircraft – unless you happen to have seen a huge pile of lemon skins and a juicer outside Cosford.

Similarly Formic Acid would not have a huge pile of squidged ants and a hammer at the gates.

subtitled How lemons help to restore ww2 Bomber.

I can safely assert that no citric acid produced industrially has ever seen a lemon!

I thought I’d leave a reminder of previous years’ coverage. These threads disappear from the forum, but will still survive by the magic of the internet and can be found at:

Firstly thank you for your time.

The photograph does not show it clearly – but it does read as ММ – ВЯ – 41 there is an – and no 0 in front of the 41 ( just double checked with magnifying lens). The O in the photo is an artefact of the bad light in my office….

Attached is a photo of the markings on the upper case.

The assumption by the original seller is that the 41 relates to year of manufacture.

Any information to contradict or support is much appreciated. The truth is usually more interesting than fiction.

Not surprising – but possibly helpful for shipping – a small sheet of roofers lead in front of the dial cuts the CPM by 90%

Dan I have seen an arming vane for sale. If it is the same one as you have seen — looking at the size of the thread it is quite a small piece for the value – assuming it was universal for the 50 kg and larger bombs. Still thinking about it!

The wire – is for a 100W bulb inside the bomb. There was a very large hole in the top casting that I have refilled with clear polyester resin.

As my office is the old farm dairy it is relatively cold and dark in here in winter. The bomb is used as a lamp and low wattage heater!
