I have a similar valve from a MkIX Spitfire, as Big Ned says, probably a compressed air valve but for the canon. Now you're getting somewhere!

Definitely a set of battery plates,
navyman.

what photo are you referring to?

do you mean cannon? and you are saying the valve I have is from an aircraft? I forgot to mention there is a part number on this piece.

Hello again,
I'm refering to the pics on page 2, the plates still attatched to the red and black terminals. Sorry, I should have been more specific.
Cheers,
Guy.

Hello Brataccas, the valve pictured between the bottle pics and grenade plug. I'm pretty sure it is a valve from the pneumatic system between the gun button in the cockpit and the canon in the wing of a Spitfire. I don't have a photo of the part I recovered and will need to journey into my shed to find out. I'm pretty confident it is though. I will get a picture but it may take some time!

ah ok silly me, digging same place and found these items, any help would massivly cure my curiosity

The black plastic item shown in the pics sixth from the bottom is a Type 247 "all ways fuse" used on various British WW2 grenades.

Cheers, Ade.

That's interesting Ade. I've been finding them on a US Air Force dump. Will find them to double check they are the same.

Great finds brataccas looks like you need to get back there ASAP. Keep up the good work.
