Hi John,
Thanks for posting the spoon, very nice AM marked. Its good to see you've started tackling your finds to be cleaned mountain. It must be exciting because with so much waiting you must have forgotten some of the stuff so it'll be like finding it again.
My gas sign has cleaned up well I'll be posting pictures of the cleaned stuff soon, its funny because the other one I found that was in much worse condition was found at the Lancaster base site we visited with Steve.
All the best.

5C cap off aircraft electrical plug or lamp.
They look very much like the flip-up shields fitted to push buttons operating fire extinguisher, starter, prop feathering systems etc.
From the stores code and the design it looks to be an earlier pattern to the built-in type usually seen.

A brass Ground lighting lamp ring nicely marked A.M.
This appears to be the surround for a coloured filter that fitted onto a signalling lamp, as seen HERE.
All the best,
PB

An alloy nut AGS Aircraft General Standard but would the F stand for perhaps female or front. Quality stamp is marked R.
AGS 904 is the specification for a series of Pipe Couplings (Aluminium Alloy), Outer Sleeve, best known as Union Nuts to most people.
AGS 904/F is for ¾" outside diameter pipe, the coupling having a ¾" BSPF internal thread and being 1.2" across the flats.
The lockwire holes should be 1/16" ID.
All the best,
PB

Just spotted you have another example here:
Looks like an AGS 904/B, E or F, for ¼", ⅝" or ¾" OD pipe respectively.
