    Thanks chaps.

    Ok a few more finds from previous visits, but these are ones that I have already managed to identify;

    That’s a good call, Tim. I need to dig it out and measure up!

    Thank you!  Your knowledge of the workings of Mosquitos is very impressive. I presume you involved in the restoration of them in some way, Hoss62.

    Im intrigued to know if are you UK based or overseas?

    Great, thank you. I will look forward to seeing those Hoss62.

    A few more items found on a previous visit. The first appears to be part of an instrument placard. The second looks like the remains of a small instrument holder that I haven’t been able to locate in the cockpit!?

    Great images, once again thank you for clarifying, Hoss62.

    A couple more items found at the weekend; the first is a pair of identical items found that appear to be some sort of thumb or finger operated sliding mechanism – maybe spring loaded?!

    The second is a cast cradle of some sort, with an old tooth brush for scale.

    So I’m guessing it’s this item shown here?…

    Another item that looks like part of a latch or locking mechanism..

    Here are a couple of other items found that I would appreciate some help with. The first item reads CLEAN FILTER EVERY 200 HOURS and is quite small.

    The second reminds me of some sort of dipstick?!

    Thank you for your informative first post, Hoss62, and welcome to the forum. 

    Your I.d of the knurled wheel as being from a dinghy box hold down is a great start and one I never would of guessed. Do you by chance have a photo of one in situ? 

    The gun bay access door catch I.d led me to finding a photo of one, albeit in better condition, on the Avspecs parts wanted page. Again, thank you for your input!

    I’ve come to the conclusion that the black Bakelite item to the left of the 20p piece is a tuner from a radio set.

    A bit of an oddity this one, although it does have a visible part number..

    Thanks for replying TA.  A 20p piece was the nearest thing to hand. At first I thought the first and third items were friction nuts possibly from the throttle box, but cockpit photos showing the design of them in place doesn’t seem to back that theory up.

    A very interesting project and proposition which I totally support.  

    This part of the statement is interesting;

    Quote.. ”While some will undoubtedly claim that such an project can hardly be considered a restoration, one has to recognize that this is the only hope of seeing flying examples of aircraft types that have for the most part completely disappeared, even as wrecks.

    I totally agree with that, but if / when it’s completed let’s not go down the road of some other replicas ala rebuilds and proclaim “that this is the actual Aircraft” – because it won’t be!

    Thanks for that Dave. I’ll look forward to listening to this with a cup of tea when I have a spare hour!

    Not as bright and shiny as some of the amazing items on this thread but a part original / part replica Handley Page Halifax column and wheel.
