A Gloster plate! denoted by the G5, I would suggest Hawker Hurricane from a Gloster built Mk1. No relation whatsoever to the battery. Possibly a pressure vessel.

Those were great days at Stock….Somewhere I have a ton of shots of Buccs, Tooms etc..
Lots of people wanted to save a Toom cockpit including me….no chance due to the strict scrappage imposed on the airframes….I have 404’s nose panel still…but all we could save were bits.
Around that time, numerous aircraft were scrapped from various RAF gates…including Javelins and the lovely XH980 – got the stick from her.

The artwork depicted is very famous indeed. This looks very familiar to something I owned many years ago….I would love the chance to examine it..especially the flip side.

If it is one and the same, it was a bargain then at 50pounds and I thought it was too good to be true when it walked into a Tangmere aerojumble being held by the friend of a very joviable and larger than life character.

I am not saying it is the same one, but if I was interested in it, I would have a good look at it. Some idea of scale would be beneficial.
