Hi Aerotony

thanks for your reply. Surprisingly, it doesn’t have any stamped numbers on it and I’ve looked very carefully. 
Dornier 17 does look like a likely candidate, I agree. 
 

cheers

Many thanks for letting me know. I did wonder why they were both the same size for two different aircraft types.

Hi Andy
You are indeed correct, label is Pats and from the Shopwyke House Bf110. I understand that not many parts were recovered from this site, so it’s a relic I’m very honoured to own, especially regarding its provenance.

Best regards
Jon..

PM?

Thanks for all the replies, much appreciated. Very interesting about the axe handle ID, it was one of the designs I was looking at as a possible match.
Cheers..

Thank you
Headcorn is a great museum. I haven’t been for a couple of years, but next time I’m in the area i will pop in and see what they have in relation to this incident.

Hello Andy

Thank you for taking the time to post this very interesting insight into the incident. Never heard about the watch and Kiplings Rolls Royce before, fascinating!

Just thought you’d like to know that when I mount or frame a Battle of Britain relic for my collection, I always try to include in the history the name of the original finder and owner. That way Pat and yourself should always be associated with the piece, after all you did find it.. I’m just the current custodian.

Cheers

P.S
Must get back to Lashenden one day, nice people and great collection.

Dear Andy

Thanks for clearing that up. It’s fascinating to hear from the actual finder of the piece.
It is even more treasured now considering its association and connection with yourself and the late Mr Burgess.

Thanks again
