    I think this film is called Hunting Warbirds or something similar. I met Burnsie, the guide, while I was working out in PNG last year and we watched his pilot copy of the DVD while drinking cold beer on a warm sea. It was an absolute hoot.

    Thanks for the information. I found the part in the early 90s and I know there are a fair number of aircraft wrecks in the sea in this area. A very good reference is “Off Scotland” by Ian G Whittaker. It covers all types of losses at sea. I suspected the part was from an aircraft from the light construction, multiple fasteners, sandwiched rubber and canvas material and the wired fastener (see below). I’d have put money on it.
