Not much to add apart from that it is an Avro 504L.

Well said Bruce.

We can speculate till the cows come home but the bottom line is that we need more info.

All we can say at the moment is that it’s probably British and sounds very interesting.

To quote Phil

The bullets were in a roll like a belt that you would see the soldiers in films feeding through a machine gun.

The bullets were very small-I think we may have one somewhere-will try and find it and post a pic-from what I remember they were about 2″-3″ long-looked the sort that would fit in a rifle.

Sorry Bruce but it sounds more like they are for a Browning Mk.II* to me.

Elliot Smock of the Whitley group may be interested in this but I think he’s out in India at the moment. I’m also unsure of his contact details.

Is this the P-40 your thinking of?

Hello.

As someone who is dyslexic, (I’ve never understood why they gave it a name that’s so hard to spell) I always copy and paste whatever I write into word so I can spell check it before posting it. It also gives me a few extra moments to make sure that I actually want to post a comment or if I have made any large bloopers in what I have written.

As for defeatist attitudes…well I’m sorry to say that I’m one of those people who think it is very unlikely that we will see a Lightning or Buccaneer flying under a British registration. The CAA just don’t want it to happen and that is a hurdle you just can’t get over no matter how often the topic is brought up. I’d love to see them flying as I’d love to see a Vulcan (which I think is unlikely but not impossible) flying again but there are so many problems in the way and I think it is only correct to say so whenever someone raises this issue.

Ooh…This is sounding very negative isn’t it!

Have a look at these links lifted from WIX.
