At last here are the pictures of my finds.

First a bumper clump of anti gas ointment tubes





Stuck in the clump was this paper item?



Close to the clump were several triangular pieces of metal, i kept a couple that still had traces of paint. Cleaning revealed the word GAS. Perhaps these are markers to show where anti gas supplies were stashed around the airfield?.





Merlin engine exhaust gaskets and lock washers.



A selection of different air line tubes?



Connector on one end?



Close up of valve?



Not sure what this is?



Marked tube



more will follow.

The becket safety clips are still in place.



A few sherds of crockery.



Mixed selection, any ideas what pieces are?







Well marked aero alloy bracket?





more to follow

Sorry for rubish pictures

Those brackets certainly look like airframe LS.

Have a quick look at your pistol without the safety clip. I just found some very feint markings on mine that is the same 'type' as yours, where the ridges for the main hand 'grip' end, on that piece of flat bakelite there.

Love the RAF mug !

That dial does look good. Paul B will be able to ID I bet. My thinking is it's off one of the early radar sets. You got some nice merlin exhaust stub gaskets to.

It's a long shot but here is a picture of an H2S with its accompanying switching unit. There is a dial on the switching unit that looks remarkably similar to yours !

What do you think ?



I just wish I could find a bigger picture !

Oh yeah! i think you could be right

Various mixed finds, is the T bar tool an adjuster for mills bombs?

Another tool or perhaps handle?

Not sure what this marked item is?, its made of a carbon type material similar to the centre of batteries.

Close up of Air Ministry marked knife.



Electrical cable.



Filter made of brass, is it for fuel?



The top and bottom of the filter, the corroded bottom is made of alloy.



I liked this small piece of riveted air frame, still showing its original paint it also seems to have suffered puncture damage.

Mixed finds here, Steve the jar looks like that agar type dish you found would possibly fit as its lid. Its probably medical. There are a couple of electrical fittings and the bakelite lid from a shaving stick. I wonder if the flat brown stick with the hole in could possibly be used for eye tests? If anyone can identify anything please left me know.






Thank you.
