Thanks for the responses. I’m hopeful there may yet be someone will come forward who recognises exactly what this is. I don’t plan to put it on another forum, as this would mean registering with another forum. I would be happy for you to post there Andre if you are willing to do so, with a link to this forum. That might just work!
Thanks Ian, that’s fantastic. I tried looking at a few cockpit photos, including the Ju 88, but couldn’t see a match. But then again, I couldn’t find good images of the side panels. Thanks so much!
Thanks for all the posts, guys. It looks possible that this might be the engine starter for a Twin Wasp from a Sunderland V, or at least the gearbox from one. It would be really nice to confirm this. Does anyone have a Twin Wasp manual or other such information which would specify what the starter motor was?
