    Thanks for all the replies, guys. Unlikely as it may seem, I assume it is from the Hunter since it has that project number. I guess a bit more research is required, but at least I have a starting point. Thanks!

    This website (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/destinations/europe/uk/9158053/M25-coach-tour-as-it-happened.html) mentions it happened in 1979 and includes a photo of said aircraft.

    Thanks Ross. That certainly sounds possible. It would be great to see a photo of a tank in one of these cradles – does anyone have such an image or can point me in the direction of one just to get some visual evidence?

    I’ll need to check, but I don’t think it can be that. The internal diameter of this cradle is more like a foot. It’s certainly way more than 5 inches.

    Is it wood clad in metal, with rubber anti-skid strips glued to the metal cladding?

    It is indeed.

    Thanks for the suggestions. I might be wrong, but I doubt that this is from a PT boat. I’m certain it is a piece of aviation-related equipment.

    Thanks for this, guys. Presumably the Rotol RA numbers should confirm it as Gannet?

    Thanks Rob. Still no absolutely positive ID, sadly. Anyone any ideas?

    Mark,

    Thanks for your interesting point, which I can’t necessarily answer. All I know is that the example I know of was given to an aviation museum by one of the Group Headquarters of the ROC in 1992 just after disbandment. It was given as part of around 200 objects all of which are items of ROC equipment from wartime or post-war date. Although I don’t really know anything about the function or use of this particular item, I see no reason why this alone would be the only non-ROC item to appear within the rest of that collection. Having come from an ROC Group Headquarters, I think they knew what they were giving the museum. All in all, I’m certain this is ROC (although it may have been used elsewhere).

    Stuart,

    I’d be very interested to know if you manage to find out more about this bit of kit. I know virtually nothing about them but would love to know more about what they were used for, etc. I can find no reference to them in Derek Wood’s history of the ROC, Attack Warning Red, but there must be information somewhere.

    This was used by the Royal Observer Corps. I believe it is wartime equipment, but that’s about as much as I know.

    Thanks guys and gals. That’s definitely what it is. I would never have thought of that, so thanks indeed for the information.

    Thanks for that Dave. It’s good to know roughly what it is in the meantime, but if you’re able to identify it preceisely next week I would be extremely grateful.

    Tony,

    Thanks, that’s super! And in only 12 minutes for the first answer! I’m hoping someone might recognise the numbers and can therefore pin down exactly what the second leg is from.
