Many thanks,

The part is from either WD714 or WD772 which collided 19/08/1952

Mike,

According to Air Britain LA100-LZ999

Hawker Hurricane LB956 was sent to ME (Middle East) and SOC 30.04.1945

I can find no mention in The Hawker Hurricane (Francis K Mason) but LB957 was with 34 Sqn.

Sorry I could find nothing else.

regards

The large spring is definately a spike from a hay turner.

Nick,

On testing again,
You are right, the base is lead with alloy terminals surrounded in Bakelite.

Silly question,

But is there an 80 OTU ORB?
I cannot find a trace on the National Archives web site, I can find 79 & 81 OTU but not 80!
Any ideas where the 80 OTU ORB might be held?

Thanks for clearing that up,
Just when doing a simple ‘Google’ for P7360 the pictures are labelled as P7360 and the a/c in the pictures has the serial P7350.

Is there any further infomation regarding the exact site?

regards

Chris

It is alloy, not brass.

Here is an identical piece from a Defiant site

I have also found similar at a Beaufighter site

Tony,

Barnstaple, North Devon makes more sense.
Having lived in Northumberland all my life I could not trace a Barstaple!

thank you
