Hi Denis

Although not an expert on these bottles, I would think yours may well date from 1942 with various mods performed thereafter.

That’s a brake relay Neil. Hope that helps.

Bruce – there must be a part number on that pulley mount somewhere…

I believe it’s out there Alison – a friend of mine visited it some years ago, sadly I have lost contact with him.

You need to get yourself a hovercraft – there are a few clubs out there that might help.

If you want a hand looking let me know – I know the flats quite well :p

Hello, I’m researching a book of my Grandfathers WWII RAF history and came across this thread from 2005….. the Lancaster in Pegwell Bay is no wild goose chase at all – I believe it to be my Grandfather’s ditched MkIII. I have a lot of info in my possession that points to this. All I need to verify this is a single part serial number, as I know the date, time and place of manufacture, serial number etc. I’m particularly interested in any old photos of the Lanc before she was deep in sand, and any record of parts salvaged from her over the years eg dials etc. I’m not after having them (although that would be nice obviously) just retrieving any serial numbers.

If anyone knows of anything, please let me know. Any information however seemingly trivial would be most welcome. Even rumours – the more the merrier. No smoke without fire and all that.

Many thanks,

Alison
