Can anyone Id this wreckage

Did you eyeball the thickness of the material or use a micrometer? Also give me a bit I have to convert your measurement to english. Most aircraft ( Skin ) Aluminum comes in .016, .020, .030, .032, .040, .050 and the you get into the big aircraft .060, .070, .080. and bigger. For Example The skin on a DC-8 is .070 while the skin on a Cessna is .032. Remember when using a micrometer to subtract a couple thousandths for paint and sometimes material thickness might vary a couple thousandths during manufacture. Also measure the pitch in the rivets or the spacing. Do you know your rivit sizes?

Looking at the rivit heads they are AD rivits. AD rivits are 100 degree countersunk. During WWII they commonly used 80 Degree rivits which these are clearly not. What you have ther is a NACA inlet used for cooling radio air. And with the white paint I would guess the part you have there is fairly modern.

I don’t know if you figured it out but the CAA is a bloated bunch of know nothings that do absolutly nothing to further aviation. They should disband a majority of the group

All things considered though it is Junk and it would be better served a the local pub in a can.

The funny thing is? I’m not playing! I’m for real

wreck Vs Restoration

Of Course! I would take it apart and use the bulkheads as templates to make the tooling to make new ones and then I would have the tooling to make further repair parts for future restorations. I never throw anything away that could be used as a template! It sure is alot easier that making from a blueprint alone! I am just tired of guys the would let wrecks rot as some kind of shrine that really doesn’t mean anything. I’m soory but if the part can be used I’m going to take it.

wreck Vs Restoration

I would rebuild an old wreck and replace anything to get it flying. Regardless of the precived historic value
