Looking at the panel it could be from a B2 Stealth bomber.

Ahem.. looks like the Photo did’nt download, will try again.. 😮

. nope wont have it.. i will have to go and photograph it again .. I have come to the conclusion that modern technology hates me :/ 😀

one thing i can read on it, the only stamps on the item are “EEP” and indecipherable numbers)

loads of Air Britain RAF Serials for sale I

Any ideas what aircraft this was fitted too?

a stab in the dark, but its design looks simaller to a few Hastings Plates I used to have ??

I own a bit of the Beacon !!

Ive owned a small 2.5″ x 1 ” thick brass plate for many years, it was in a bag of plates i bought many years ago that were mainly from Hatfield, DH works etc,

I never realised the importance of this makers plate until now !!,

it reads on the back ,written in pen , “THIS IS VERY SPECIAL – FROM HATFIELD AERODROME ,

1931 BEACON MOTOR

CANOPY IS IN SALISBURY HALL.

on the front stamped very neatly is as follow !

” THE GAS ACCUMULATOR CO.(UK) LTD

LIGHTHOUSE ENGINEERS,

BEACON WORKS,

BRENTFORD,

ENGLAND.”

I guess this thick brass makers plate is as stated , the makers plate for the lighthouse engineers who made the beacon, or at least the motor/motors that drove it . ?? 🙂

I have no reason to doubt its aunthenticity , i bought it with a load of other plates, about 40 of them, data plates from vampires, tiger moths,mossie, various plates etc .. must say i am very chuffed to find out the reason why it was said in writing on the back to be special

if this is true, I find it quite astonishingly special 🙂
