Hi Alan, there is little stainless steel on a Whitley, and those parts present are often shared with the Albemarle. I have gone through my Whitley V parts book and although the number falls within the range of Whitley part numbers, it is not present. I’m pretty sure it’s Albemarle, the construction is typical, plus the subcontractors inspection stamp suggest Albemarle as production was widely dispersed. That said, I have amassed a modest collection of Albemarle parts and would be interested if it can find its way out of your shed!  

I have both Mark, an intact 1082 and a large amount of 1083. I do not want to part with them but would if you had some good Spitfire swaps. Best to contact me on facebook as I rarely visit here

Is there any indication on where this panel came from Brian? Russia or maybe the UK?

Much respect to you Melvin – gone but never forgotten. Rest in piece sir

Does anyone recognise this spade grip appendage? I think it originally came from a scrapyard and when I got it, it held the remains of a fuel tank selector push button.
 

The numbers on it are: 2 (followed by an indistinct inspection stamp) A.

Then EV3C4/2

I’m wondering if anyone out there may have a grip with one of these still attached. The third pic shows similar fittings on a Typhoon grip.
