    The shoe on the beach is the missing clue…

    On Britain’s East Coast- most of the shoes found are left handed. On the Dutch and Belgian coast -they are predominantly right handed.

    As they are washed in from the North Atlantic into the North Sea – the “handedness” of the shoe moves it in a certain direction.

    Just got to work out the tidal flow and work backwards to find her…..

    James – totally my fault – I was searching for the “old” Port Elizabeth site restoration images on image search and found this pic – I was so intent on the firewall- had not even looked up at the roof struts …

    Thank you for not perpetuating my error.

    ZRX61 – now that I have an anvil -I can try and unbend larger pieces of metal.

    SAAF Oxford

    I had a root around and found this photo of the SAAF machine – the box on the Port firewall seems to be the same as John Aeroclub proposes. It can be seen to have the additional side pieces..

    I can see the two top and bottom flaps on this one as well.

    Acknowledgement to Valka.cz who took the original photo

    John excellent suggestion and fits with putting heavy stainless anywhere except where it is needed. It would need two side pieces to fit with the size and shape – but there are bolt holes down both sides.

    There is also a pic of a similar piece in this webpage – on the far right of the pile of bits photograph in the bottom.

    Unfortunately the photo history of the restoration of the SAAF machine has gone from the web which had some good photos of the firewall.

    ZRX61 – It was painted as my wife urgently wanted a box to take somethings to Duxford Legends last year. Aesthetics/wife – do you need to ask more?

    P.S. you should have seen it before I straightened it!

    Andy – thanks for the suggestion.

    The sizes I gave were for the outside dimensions. The box interior is 26 x 32 cm sloping from 15 cm to 7cm.

    Stamp looks similar to those from Lockheed – and according to this – possibly a P38

    Thank you for the suggestions.

    It doesnt fit with either Ju 88 or He111 undercarriage or bomb bay doors and we will have to wait for Goodwin Sands to release its Do17 to see if it fits there..

    As it is dark green and presumably upper surface – what were the doors on the life raft compartment of large aircraft like ?

    Tony – I went to Hendon a couple of weeks ago and took several pics of this area as the hatch I found was also from a Stuka.

    Unfortunately I am away in Europe this week so cant post a pic.

    If you look on this image – you will see the yellow octane badge just below the cockpit rail

    The white writing just below the red triangle is the 35 ltr Schmierstoff that is on the circular hatch that Andy has from the same aircraft.

    Are these great minds who are planning a wind farm in Cambridgeshire the same great minds who’s last proposal for a hydro electric scheme in the Sahara failed to get off the drawing board?

    Perhaps a horizontal loop GSHP in the Siberian permafrost is also in the planning. Or an Air Source heat system in the Himalayas.

    Breguet Cowl in Cumbria.

    I have a cowl section from a Breguet 591 in my store.

    Fortunately I recall how it got here and it was not on loan from AM.

    Maybe I should contact the Cumberland News.

    Whitley on Film

    Last night on TV – there was a programme on the channel YESTERDAY – which was about pathfinder navigators. It was part of the Heroes of WW2 series.

    Near the beginning is a piece of film from inside a Whitley. One brief shot of the instrument panel showed two separate shades.

    It may be of interest to someone.
