the two small disks may be tool tags to keep track of tools so as they dont get left in the aircraft, we use the same system today in the aircraft maintance industry

A wild punt on the bent ha'penny. It was common for erks in quiet moments to fashion tiny aircraft models...spitfires and hurricanes...out of coins, as sweetheart brooches , fund-raisers, or whatever. The first step was to anneal the coin and fold it in half. The edge of the fold was then clamped in a vice and the sides of the coin folded out, so the wings/tailplane could be filed away. This could have been a first stage...

Welcome to the forum!
Many thanks for your post. I find that very interesting as I find numerous bits of deliberatly cut and shaped cartridges on this site as well, along with a small lead Blenheim, obviously made by one of the RAF chaps

Ste, as you know I recently found also Blank .303's..... why would they have blanks around? What were they used for? Training?
(this isnt a silly question folks, im trying to learn about ordnance) lol
Hi Dan, blanks were used for training and grenade launching.
Cheers, Ade.
