Yep.....totally excited about the Lanc stub and Mossie tail light Mind you, we recovered a lot of No. 848/42 bases as well. I think Salzburg had nearly as many as me, as did LS. Molly even found two !!
The emergency compass for a Lanc is great !
You also have a tensioning bar, an eye hook off a bomb, a No 27 arming fork and a gunners seat belt buckle Some nice finds there
Yeah, wish we could have found a few bits more of that!
Where's the tensioning bar used?
Anyone ID any of the other bits, particularly the T shape wire thingy (found a broken one last time), the round dome thing, and the last item (I first thought carb float chamber..).
Oh and the switch? 5D/526
Well 5D is aircraft armament systems, but not been able to get it narrower than that so far. Will try after work
Already covered on this very forum...
5D/526 and associated stuff
Bomb rack and arming system electrics, basically.
I knew I'd seen it somewhere. I was rushing this morning before work
Your tensioning bar Rich......I am sure LS had a complete item with that kind of bar in it.
Ah, so it's a socket not a switch (that PB knows everything)!
I've not photographed it yet, but the large (14-15") diameter aluminium disc I found (think someone else found another later in the day) has this stamped on it S981045
Elaine thinks it's painted, but I think it's mud stuck to it, it does come off with the merest rub.....
P.S. where are everyone elses finds? and the ones from Sunday?...............Slackers!
