    That’s a standard air ministry aircraft clock, as you say they were used on many different types. I would suggest a date of 1937 from the information you provide, so an early one!

    Sorry I can’t be of more help.

    Regards

    Hi Peter
    As you might expect 36 is an engine code (the item is made by pratt and whitney). 36P is probably the engine code for a particular P+W engine, but I do not know which one. I see the part number starts with a 32 – maybe it’s from a liberator? If the date 1969 is correct then probably not…

    The Avro part – not sure but I would email the BBMF or Air Atlantique as the former operate a Lanc and the latter Ansons! Would well be one of these two beasts.

    Good luck

    BDK over on Wix thinks they are B-25 nosewheels – they certainly look similar.

    Hi Neil

    It would be component marked auto-selector switch. I may be wrong as it’s so damaged it’s hard to say for sure without eyeballing it up close.

    The second part looks like an electrical junction box from a light series bomb carrier. This is an Air Ministry item – prefixed 5D. The rest of the stores ref escapes me! Alan will probably be able to confirm. More pics and a good blasting might help!

    Yes, what you have there Neil is part of a light series bomb carrier.

    I have a few of these for the Whitley.

    Try the RAF Commands forum – you should be able to find it using google easily.

    They can probably help you.

    Good luck.

    My father was a test pilot for Fairey aviation at Ringway. He was killed on a test flight I believe in a Halifax on the 18th March 1944. Can someone help me get the accident report or anyone that has any recollection of the incident. I believe the aircraft came down close to a small village called Huxley near Chester, ironically his last name was Huxley. The Halifax ids he tested that month were, lk 826, lk 830, lk 829, lk 831, lk 834. I live in Canada so it is hard for me to do any local research. Thanks
