The rubberized part is recognized as the part which is mounted at the top of the cylinder head of a Bristol Hercules. This engine was mounted in the MKIII.
Furthermore I found some more parts, also one with a part number (BW8 N4….. 2850 44…..). If understood well, this prefix 285 was (only?) used for Wellingtons.

Some more geodetic parts.
Lowest part on the pictures is not a geodetic part but seems the fixed part of a control lever to me:

Furthermore found the following rubberized metal part (‘molded’ rubber with on the sides metal in it). On a few spots is thread applied in the metal. Dimensions as showed on picture approximately 250 x 250 mm:

Two small shafts (length ± 80 mm):

Thanks for confirmation.
I was quite sure, the parts found must be from an English plane. On the hydraulic part is also the logo of an English crown. Furthermore I found lots of unused ammunition (0,303), all made in England and dated prior to the earlier mentioned crash of a Wellington somewhere in our area.

Thanks for quick reply Ian!
The other English plane crashed quite nearby was a Handley Page Halifax II. But the crash location of this Halifax was already known before. A Warwick or Wellesley are not crashed over here, which means that this must be BJ674.

Thanks again.
