    thanks for the info WV-903 I should of picked up that tyre as I cant find it on the beach now, it was found directly inline the runway approach to where a ww2 naval airfield was once active

    no beach scouring today but I did some digging in the dump I usually dig at, trying to find the RAF parts and I found this, on another forum someone reckons its a pilots rebreather bag for high altitudes, can anyone on here confirm this? it says “not guarenteed….” and some serial number below that:

    Got this piece washed up which ive had for ages but not photographed it exept 1 photo maybe, I inspected it again recently and found quite a few stamps/part numbers? on it, strange I missed them the first time round, would like to know what aircraft its from if anyone has a clue? washed up from the same beach as the wellington etc but much further away than those parts: stamps are kinda tricky to make out exactly what it says on them I see:

    4

    H?294 or 4294

    C 105(9/S/8)?3

    CHECK or CHFCX

    there is another letter that is faint on the last one, probably “check” but ive never seen aircraft parts with check written on them as a stamp,

    I have a similar one with the writing:

    “AVIMO TAUNTON”
    “No 6A / N(or H)14844”
    “Ser no 208/75”
    “F14 / 150 / 27”

    no idea what is off though.

    Brattacas, post 61 is an exhaust stack, the two holes are where it bolts to the head, the grooved bit in the other end is likely to be an asbestos type seal that would have gone inside the next portion of the exhaust to form a slip joint to allow for heat expansion

    what page is that on? can you quote it? post 61 to me just leads me to a post I made with a youtube link showing no relics

    dallachy I think, have you seen these bunkers I am referring to? I had no idea they existed til today, the forest are appears to have been cut down revealing them and across the road even more, and accommodation blocks too and lots of underground pits. some of the bomb storage bunkers still have relics in them, quite an interesting place. took too many pics so need to sort out the best ones,

    ps I counted around 12 of these bunkers (not including the other ones)
