Ha, Yes I found one of these too. GEC is the General Electric Company.
I used to play cricket at their factory club ground in Stafford.I agree with you bobby that the bits appear geodesic, and likely Wellington or possibly Warwick, academic really, but I guess 'Wimpey' is best bet.

pic of what you mentioned
It says type on it so it could be a Type? Bomb hoist.
I'll stick with my initial guess.

did their factory make stuff only for the military this general electric company, ie the torch I found is military issue from an aircrew or is there a chance it may be civilian?
is there any way to possibly remove the rocks stuck to the bomb hoist etc to reveal more of it or will this damage it further?
aircraft tyre? dunlop 16x4 51080, quite skinny...
GEC made all sorts but that torch is Military. Seen lots of them and I would think they were personel issue, the current version is anyway.
found this piece also at the beach, wonder if anyone recognises it, has a "06" stamp or "90"
