I have a similar valve from a MkIX Spitfire, as Big Ned says, probably a compressed air valve but for the canon. Now you're getting somewhere!

Hello again,
I'm refering to the pics on page 2, the plates still attatched to the red and black terminals. Sorry, I should have been more specific.
Cheers,
Guy.
Hello Brataccas, the valve pictured between the bottle pics and grenade plug. I'm pretty sure it is a valve from the pneumatic system between the gun button in the cockpit and the canon in the wing of a Spitfire. I don't have a photo of the part I recovered and will need to journey into my shed to find out. I'm pretty confident it is though. I will get a picture but it may take some time!
The black plastic item shown in the pics sixth from the bottom is a Type 247 "all ways fuse" used on various British WW2 grenades.
Cheers, Ade.
