Plenty of finds from a new site on a British Airfield.

This is the workshop diagram from my Humber Heavy Utility and you will see the locking ring and how it is used, John.

Does anybody know if FM is a Fairey inspector's stamp? I've never seen it listed as such but I've seen it on a lot of parts from dump sites which could be from Fairey designed aircraft. I haven't dug a Fairey aircraft yet but we're working on finding a Battle. Hopefully this will confirm it.

IIRC its "F8" - will try to get out to the workshop and poultry sheds to have a look - about 1 ton from a couple of Firefly out there somewhere !

Hi LS,

Pic no.86 is a customer inspection stamp for various U.S. Navy or Marine aircraft such as Avengers, Wildcats and Catalinas.

Regards, Ned.

[big ned]

Just found this list. It's pretty comprehensive covering most types of inspection codes and miscellaneous part numbers, Air Ministry Equipment Codes etc. It confirms that F8 and FM are Fairey stamps. It may be worth making this list a 'Sticky' in the correct forum if approved of.

Regards, Ned.

Thats IT , locking nut rings, knew id seen them somewhere, little buggers

[LUCKYSTRIKE]

Hi Friends and thank you once again for your comprehensive help with ID's on relics I found.

Hi Ned, Firstly I must say a big Thank You from everyone on the forum for the comprehensive list of Air Ministry Numbers, Inspection Codes, Manufacture codes etc. This is absolute gold dust to me and Im sure many others. I agree with you this list should be made into a sticky. Thanks also for the ID on the US Customer Inspection stamp, this is an eye openner for me because there is no history of US involvement at the site or even US aircraft. But saying that last year I also found a US mess tin around the same air field so they must have been there at soon time.
Hi Dave, I did think it a little to precisely made for a zip pull, its made of something like aluminium so isn't too strong.
Hi Ivor, Thanks again for your ID on the Flexi air tubes I did try to find the AM code but didn't get the result you did. But with Neds recently uploaded list everything is going to be much easier.
Hello John, Thanks for the lock nut ID I would never have got that, being bakelite/plastic I wouldn't have thought it strong enough but actually I suppose it doesn't require too much strength to stop the main nut from moving.
Thank You All.

[davejb]

LS, the locking nuts are the items you thought were zip pulls, aluminium, the elongated slot is the fixing point

" Thanks also for the ID on the US Customer Inspection stamp, this is an eye openner for me because there is no history of US involvement at the site or even US aircraft." QUOTE.

Hi LS,

There may not have been any U.S. involvment at all. Remember, the U.S. supplied lend lease aircraft throughout the war, even before they were officially in it after Pearl in Dec. '41. In fact the Grumman Wildcat (Martlet in British service) first saw action in 1940 with the Royal Navy and FAA. The Grumman Avenger was used as well as a bomber/torpedo bomber by both services on land and sea. Catalina's were employed in many roles including Recon, ASR, and Sub hunting to name a few. So it is entirely probable that some of these aircraft or others of American manufacture may have been at your aerodrome at some period during the war.

Regards, Ned.

Here's a few more cleaned finds.

So how's this for a pile of Merlin engine exhaust manifold gaskets . All of these came out of just one smallish hole and it's only some of what is down there, I found so many I left most but I'll go back to open the hole up to get a couple pictures and see if anything else is down there.
Most were stacked one on top of each other forming tubes. So this is probably how they were supplied to the base and they were later buried when the base finally shut down. They seem to me to be fairly common finds from many airfields so I guess exhaust manifolds were removed and replaced on the Merlin engines at a fairly frequent rate?





There were quite a few of these gaskets mixed in too, but I have no idea what they're off.



A piece of aero alloy studded at the corners, I don't know what it is but its well marked. I assume the N stands for Noorduyn manufacturer?



A nice valve almost the same as two I found early (pics 37 & 38) but they didn't have a screw to adjust the flow rate and were marked GUNFIRE?. This value is adjustable from the underside and has an Air Ministry marking of 6D so was used for oxygen supply.





The final picture is a mixture of finds showing another air crew W/T plug, a nice chained brass nut still showing traces of the original green paint, another good condition still shiny brass flare cartridge base, a formica gauge surround and a gun sight bulb.

a few more will follow

Thanks for looking.

This appears to be the front of an electronic device perhaps radio or transmitter, it retains much of the original paint but sadly has no markings that I can find.



An aluminium gasket? and a sprung steel precision toothed wheel?



Next is a mixed group, first is perhaps a fuel oil canister threaded cap, next is unidentified perhaps its an off cut from a cut out, which was drilled out by dozens of neat small holes around its edge or perhaps it's a bored mechanics trench art of an alloy leaf? and finally a nicely marked pad lock. The trade mark seems to be a couple of squirrels and a baby?



This is the third plate I've found like this but this one is by far the best preserved. The alloy item above was originally rivetted to it's back and being hinged at the top would have, when attached to a control surface been able to fold it back out of the way when not needed.



The alloy hinged part is well marked?



A couple of marked alloy rings, the complete circle shows it was made by Gloster.





Not sure of the name of this type of cooker is it Dixie? but it is one of the two cooking supports over the heating flame.



The remains of an electrical component like a tuner.



The remains of a nice thermometer, the backing is made of brass, perhaps part of a small weather station on the base.



The last picture and out of order appears to be a large brass sieve probably part of a filter device, perhaps for fuel or oil. As you can see it is quite large.

If you have any idea what any of these relics are please post your ideas, thank you for any help.
