    TO – given some of the above comments on blondes – you had better get some more bromide in to surreptitiously add to the tea…

    P.S. I always found that saltpeter was more effective….. Not that my noisy flatmate ever knew – all he kept on saying to his girlfriend was – it has never happened before…

    oz jag – he has two large pieces by 60 Euros and 80 Euros delivery within Germany seems a bit steep

    Is this the one that was on ebay a couple of years ago that used to be used as a dinghy with outrigger?

    If I recall it was stainless with an opening in the upper from when used as a dinghy.

    I was watching it both times it was listed to see what value was realised – sorry to see that it has not yet found a home.

    After some discussion on the LEMB – it has been proposed that this is from a Bucker Bu181 Bestmann.

    Seems to fit the pictures , size and construction.

    Any of these under restoration that need a flap ?

    Curlyboy, Philip et al. Thank you

    I took this picture of the F4 at Solway.

    It looks like part of an F4 to me.

    Just heard that the part was found in the Saarland near Thalexweiler/Lebach – if this helps…

    From a chemistry perspective –

    Atomic – related to atoms – comprise protons neutrons and electrons (quarks were not invented when I learned this stuff). Atoms comprise several layers of electrons around a central nucleus of protons and neutrons.

    Nuclear – related to an atomic nucleus

    So atomic and nuclear are the same (chemically).

    In a normal atomic reaction – you fission (break) the larger molecule into smaller components.

    In a hydrogen bomb – you surround the bomb with hydrogen- so that the heat causes nuclear fusion ( joining of the hydrogen to form helium).

    SO I disagree that atomic and nuclear are related to different reactions.

    I agree that fusion and fission are suitable descriptors of different reaction types.

    Interested to hear that Niigata was a possible target – that is a long way in and back.

    Whilst we are at it – can anyone help to trace the aircraft it came from ?

    I bought it from a chap in Germany. He was investigating a WW2 crash site with his metal detector and found multiple hits. When dug – he found this stabilator and other parts – so obviously from an F4 crash in Germany.

    Inside the end of the stabilator is a manufacture stencil.

    Pagen – the small issue is that it weights >24 kg – it would be a very heavy lump of shiny metal (and if Ti – quite valuable).

    Thanks Merlin – previously it had been proposed as a bomb bay door or undercarriage door – as there were insufficient ribs/reinforcement cf FW190 flap.

    However with the cloth and the wood thrown into the mix – is a low speed Landing flap an option?
