I blame my brother (Steve T)

[jrt]

...for this new habit! Within about 30 miles of my home are over 30 WW2 airbases and today I visited one close by and found these items. There's a nice bunch on Window and some .303s. The switch is marked Ref no 5C/543 and I have no idea what the arrow is for - it looks hand cut. Any ideas?

Btw, my nearest base has been covered in a new 'fertiliser' by the local farmer made from domestic waste. With all the foil etc. in it the metal detector is useless!

So you are the famous brother Steve talks about? Nice to meet you and nice finds!

Nice finds jrt, I like the switch, the 5C Air Ministry code means its an Aircraft electrical fitting.
All the best.

Pffff....he ain't THAT famous !

Nice batch of 'window' and good selection of 303s.

As for the switch, using my years of experience and keen eye for detail, I would hazard a guess that it is probably an ON/OFF switch for something.

Do I win a prize ?????

5C/543 used in just about every British aircraft.

A short one and a long one!
