Hi Mart,
The items in image 'F' are electrical transformer coils. They probably come from the aircrafts radio equipment.

A few more finds from the last few days. Amazing that the finds so far have been discovered just by scraping the surface.
Very Nice finds. Is it Grafton Underwood?????? My uncle was attached to the 384th BG there.
in the first set of picture's, item K "Radio Valve?" is a Electronics Tube either for the radio but they are also used in other forms of amplification in electrical circuits.
Are the any number's on it?

Your last item in the above, the round brass disc with the holes in. This was ID'd by PB a year ago after much searching and scratching of heads.........both myself and 381st had found the same object on other USAAF bases.
Here ya go......

Sweet. I must go shopping for a Wright Cyclone R-1820 Parts Manual.
Cheers
