What is this item made of, from the pictures it looks like stainless that has been grit blasted which seems an unlikely material to have used in wartime.

Quite common in exhausts and other parts of aircraft at the time.

Is this one of several pictures? Our Auster IV was also in the exhibition and I have seen the well known picture with the bus in front where you can just see the nose in the background but nothing like this.

If it’s the clip of it taxiing right to left amid plumes of water, I think it was just a normal P-38 on a semi-flooded airfield. It was shown whilst the narrator was talking about seaplanes but that means nothing….!
ah the very a/c i was discussing on another thread!
Indeed! However it wasn’t ‘derelict’ as reported on the other thread, the damage was limited to the tail. I suspect it deteriorated somewhat over time in storage though!
