Not to detract from the object of the thread but has anyone used reclaimed material from an aircraft for any purpose other than a collection piece that came from said aircraft.

For instance melted it down and used it to for a toilet roll holder fasioned from cast from the engine. Or plate to form a brush pan out of.

Just curious as to how some material ends up.

On a related note, my main workbench was originally a WWII Hamilton Standard prop stand… I was told “Take this thing apart & throw it in the dumpster”.. which became “take this thing apart & throw it in the back of my truck”

Cambridge.

Priceless.

Parkers Piece .. or?

You just have to read the articles about the rozzers evacuating everyone within 200 yards of a cop shop because someone walked in the door with a grenade to realize how bloody clueless the average flatfoot is when it comes to stuff like this…

& it’s parked next to a conveyor belt!!!.. this could answer that question once & for all 😉
