Thanks, it was a very nice piece. Hoped to find the one from the second engine but unfortunately there was no sign. TV link here:

You were involved in the dig Ian? Well done for finding the items you did, any idea what the last piece in your pics is?

Re: German Bomber found in Somerset garden.
I only helped out on the second day, but it was a memorable experience. Most of the aircraft had unfortunately been burned to crisp and recovered at the time. It's made even more interesting in that a local researcher,Hugh Trivett, interviewed the surviving German crew back in the eighties and has published the full story in his book "Achtung Spitfire". The last fragment is part of a prop spinner with just a trace of yellow paint.
