Thanks Bill for the Google translations, gives me a direction to look on RAF flight gear and identify the actual parts. post 60 pic 110 are probably referring to translation 111; Two three screws of a parachute pack RAF.

Hello Bob the material is the same a hard plastic and the colour tone quite similar, do you have a picture of the complete economizer unit.

Dennis

Unfortunately there are no other numbers on item 44, I guess with the horrendous losses suffered by bomber command 1943-1944 manufacturing of bomber parts had to be standardized for mass production to keep the command going.

Dennis

Thanks station 342 excellent bit of identifying. On further inspection on item 40 the letters are faded but etched into are the words, WALTHAM WATCH CO. a US watch company that made parts for the military during WW2. I cannot make out the serial No. but it does go into my increasing relic parts of my P-51 collection.

Thanks Bob, I curios about items 68 and 69 are they parachute release mechanisms?

Hello Bob I looked at your thread “Wreckage of Lancaster ED908 (60-Z)” an excellent piece of research by you and the other forum members. Unfortunately from the relics of your excavated Lancaster I couldn’t find any that resembled any of my Lancaster. I suppose my collection of aircraft relics most will never be identified as there are Spitfire, P-51, Halifax, Stirling, and Lancaster parts, which I don’t mind if only the items were labelled.

Dennis

With the help of the forums, I am beginning to piece together some aircraft parts, there seems to be enough information to conclude there are P-51 Mustang relics within my collection, it would be great if there was.

Post 1 item 2, is a U.S fuel cap as used on P51 Mustangs.

Post 7 Item 21 control cable pulley aircraft type has the name Westinghouse an American electrics company.

Post 14 item 29 DME Indicator is from another American company Rockwell

Post 17 item 1 is a American 700mph airspeed indicator as used in P-51 Mustangs

Post 28 item 51, P-51D Mustang part numbers begin with 106, so that would tie in with some of your other bits.
