Re: New UK Airfield explore, with interesting finds..
Hi Paul,
I bow to your knowledge , Im amazed you have single handedly pretty much identified everything I had to offer, and not just the aero related relics but also provided fantastic info on the telephone dial. I really appreciate all this help and yet again you are right, the gauge (pic 15) does indeed fix onto the item in pic 10 perfectly. I'll post a picture tomorrow and thanks for the ID on the oxy mask and intercom connector.
Cheers Bird Dog thanks for the pictures, it's great to be able to put the connector in context with the appropriate plug, now Im hoping I'll manage to recover one of those one day.
Steve, Thanks for confirming the educated guess on the face mask, as PB confirmed its an RAF oxygen mask type E.
I think I can say I had a good selection of finds from my last visit.
All the Best.

Bird Dog, you tease us with your stick. Formation keeping from a B17? Go on, gizza look.

For reference, the E* Mask has an exhalation/anti-suffocation disc on the side, which the E Type lacks.
The strapwork on the E Type was leather, rather than the webbing used on the E*.
These and other improvements meant the E mask wasn't on issue for too long, from 1941 and virtually extinct during 1942.

I can't read the inscription at the edge of the dial too clearly, but does it say something like "1008 MONIX SCALE Prov. Pat. No. 16523/31"?

Doesn't look like any artificial horizon I have come across - Looks more like some form of radio tuning dial IMO

Hi Paul
Sadly I cant read it either but what I'll do is take a very close up picture then blow it up to see what is says, Its definately of the same style as posted by NickW.
Thank you for all your help.
