A REAL PASSING BLOODHOUND
Sorry Chaps – this is a real passing bloodhound.
North Lincolnshire Thus a.m. National trials – Senior Stakes.
Cool Hand Luke went this way.
The section I have has been confirmed by some nice chaps on WIX as being B24.
The B24 appeared to use the same square section corrugation.

Thanks Ian.
The control box arrived this morning.
Brian, the rivets on your example dont look like German ones; more American.
Bruce
Bother – another few hours on the internet beckons…
Thanks Bruce.:D
The metal part is from a Ford built B24.
There were B24’s in operation on this date (15th Sept 1942) at El Alamein. I just cannot find out if all of them made it back safely.
Anyone have access to the 98th Bombardment Groups USMEAF data?
Elliot I have a similar looking section that I bought in Germany a couple of years ago. The seller assured me that it had been verified by experts and came from a known Ju52 crash site.
Despite looking for hours at Ju52 wreck parts I could not see the same profile anywhere. The Ju52 profile is round with crimped ends..
It is definitely golden anodised and looks distinctly German..
