Thanks Elliott!
Pictures posted on original thread.
Shot 2.
I’ve taken shots from both sides as the bevelled edges do distort the image and I can’t tell which is the front or back!
Screen 1 Head-on:1

Head-on shots:1
C’mon chaps, I know you know the answers! My guess is something like P-51/P-47 due to it being roughly the same size as my Spit wheel but that’s just suppositon.

Hey SPReally need good head on shots to confidently ID the windscreens.
Any news on your mates ‘Seafire’?
Can you explain what u mean by head shot (I’m a bit simple!) 😀 Do you mean looking straight at it?
Cheers!
Seafire – I’m not permitted to make any further comments right now but as I am allowed, I shall. Unfortunately i have no control over what can or can’t be said so I have to accept others conditions.

If I start looking like the Reddy Brek kids I’ll let you know!
Thanks alot Bruce. Helps narrow things down alot.
Regarding your comments on my windscreens (other thread), can you confirm they are definitely not Vampire/Venom/Hunter? At the moment I’m not ruling out any options although I reckon screen 1 is almost certainly WW2 vintage.
Any ideas on my tyre (another thread)?

skypilot62can you tell me the overall sizes of the second windscreen?
width, height, etc.
cheers
Screen 1: Ht = 43.5cm/17 1/4″ Width = 33cm/13″
Screen 2: Ht = 48cm/19″ (middle to top) Width = 41cm/16″ (bottom) 20cm/8″ (top)
Hurricane does look possible but alot of the glass would be covered up by metalwork – would that be correct?
No2. No idea at all! Acquired from the same source. Pictures of a similarly acquired mystery prop blade (rescued from being used as a fence post!!!!) will be posted in due course.
A pitot tube but type unknown, dated 1962.
I think this is the crowbar from a Spit door? It is AM stamped and marked. Did only Spitfires have them, if so what marks? Is it rare?
Close-up of markings.
some type of UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) certainly seems most likely.
Perhaps worth a post on the modern military forum?
