I was thinking along your lines but when you look on plan this duct is very narrow and the duct on the top of the Hercules is about 10 or 12 inches wide, I’m beginning to think it might not be an air duct but a cover for something else.
If the flanges at the fat end were dressed back out to 90 degrees it would look less like a streamlined duct.
You might be right Ivor , I’m looking at pictures of all types from Stradishall from Wellesley through to Lancaster but no luck yet although that pencilled lettering may mean Lancaster?
Thanks Ian , I have been looking at images to try and pick out the panel on various aircraft but not yet pinned it down. It is a distinctive shape . I keep coming back to somwhere around an engine assuming intake as it wouldnt handle the hot exhaust. The piece is from Stradishall.
