Thanks very much for your info !
I have found numbers on some parts:
Big jack: 250838
Small jack: 51211/3 and SR20440
one small part with gear 30066/5
Hydr.lock 35126 SHT and 33028 53 4
Partwith four large screws around it (what is it?) : 2998…..
Which of the parts on the photo are from a Spitfire ?
I cannot recall the village Ad and I don’t know it is from a Stirling. The guy told me the parts were collected by his father and he had found them in his shed after he had passed away. He also told me there were several planes crashed near their village when I asked him if he knew what plane it came from.
So his father probably could have collected parts from more planes.
Will see if I can find numbers on them.

Thank you Martin for your offer to look out for that cable. I have sent you a PM but it was not delivered, because your messages box is overloaded.
re : pagen01
The camera is placed there just for display purposes. The section is on wheels and in this way the whole can be removed easily.
The camera was placed somewhere behind a window in the floor or side or I have also seen it just behind the glazed nose (but not in a bomber version).
Don’t have to search for a flexible drive cable anymore. Air Ministry has sent me a fine one and so I could complete the F-24 Camera equipment at last.
It is now connected to the bomb aimers panel. Also added a fire extinguisher from Chris.
Looks fantastic Cees ! James and I would like to see it and the rest of the museum next month if that is convenient. I’ll send you a PM to make an appointment.

During my stay in York last week I discovered an interesting booklet from W.H.Smith in the Aviation Classics series, Issue 10, about the D.H.Mosquito.
A lot of interesting information and photo’s. Alas a small mistake about the position of the bomb aimers panel. It is written that it was situated below the left hand nose window (page 82), but in fact this was fitted on the floor. The bombsight mounting and the bombsight computer were fixed below the left hand window.
Thanks Smirky.
I have made and installed a bomb sight mounting. Next goal is a bomb sight computer. I’m glad I decided to go on with this project. Is great fun.
12jaguar I think you mean the fuselage in the Museum Deelen in Holland. Used as a pigsty.
I’m not making it 3/4, but full scale Martin. From the front to the instrument panel and halfway of the fuselage. Hope to finish it in a couple of weeks.
I think a plastic bag is more suitable in this case, Martin !
I’m excited too and will buy one when they come to Holland for sure.
Thanks !
I received an email from the RAF museum with some images, but alas not one with a clear view of the nose-section floor. France did not respond. At this moment I presume my panel is from a Mk 35 Mosquitobomber. I’ll have to use my imagination and an unclear drawing to complete the bombaimers section.
It seems someone in Canada has a maintenance manual of a MK 35. Perhaps this person will give a message some day.
