Just going back on this old thread i was just wondering Junk collector when you said  

“Gareth Jones dug it, BOB machine”

Would  you of been refering to PT766 or X4773? as i was lead believe whilst researching PT766 it said this aircraft was delivered to the RAF at 33 MU Lyneham 11-8-44.

or did you mean another Battle of Britain aircraft?

Although im pretty certain the relic i have is from X4773

Many thanks

Dam wish i was one of them

Reading the old Shoreham threads apparently vehicles use to que way back from the airfield to get in to the main entrance of the Jumble, the police even advised to let vehicles in for free to get the outer roads conjestion moving again.

Sadly i missed the fun of the early aerojumble events

Would anyone have any other stories relating to jumble heydays, ie purchases, photos etc, as it would be good to hear and see, also give me an insight of the early part of jumbling.

Also i was meant to add that this particular turret door is made of wood

Great news Bruce

Certainly looking forward to getting back to the former imagery 

HI Trolley Aux 

I can see why you are thinking this, but it is a lot smaller, here are the sizes of the relic itself 7 inches in length x 4 inches at its widest point

Certainly looks along the lines of the cockpit floor venting in one of the images i posted , but not sure what this may of been used for, possibly drainage, heating flume etc 

Thank you once again for your input
