    Hi Elliott,
    Thank you for your comprehensive ID of nearly everything I posted, I'm particulatily pleased with the Gloster part ID and also the Dunlop brake relay valve, Ive been looking for pictures of one in use.
    Thanks much appreciated.
    All the Best.

    Here are a couple of recent finds.

    First up is a steel strutt attached to an alloy bracket that reinforced a wooden joint. There is no evidence that the dumping site was burnt so from the underside melt Im wondering if this piece came off an aircraft that crashed and burned.
    I cant find any picture to show its use except perhaps as a part of he engine mounting frame?

    This heavy study jaw was mounted on a piece of alloy but when dug it had turned to a white mushy soup of oxide although you can still see traces under the bolts.
    The jaws have brass blocks insulating them from the main mounting plate, so I was wondering could this be to insulate them from static electricity and if that is the case could they be a part of a bomb hanger from a rack?

    The quality stamps impressed into the brass show a backward and forward facing R like R R, but I cant find an aero company that used those initials except perhaps Rolls Royce? But it also has either a GW or Perhaps GLW stamp.
    Can you confirm what it is?
