Plenty of finds from a new site on a British Airfield.
Article about: 145 and 146 is definatly somthing to do with the weapons system as the same idea is in use today. The pilot can turn his weapon system to safe or not have all the required safety conditions

Hello Dave
Thanks for your observation it makes sense, I'd originally thought the handles were used the other way around with the open ends clipping onto the box, so that will hopefully narrow down my search. Cheers.
Hi Elliott
Welcome to the forum, Im very impressed you've pretty much identified all of these relics which is great news for me thank you so much. With Bristol, Bolton and Westland aircraft parts this batch has turned out to be a better selection than I'd originally thought. Currently Im happy to retain them but if in the future if I decide to part with any Ill certainly remember your interested. Thanks.
Hi Ian,
Hello again thanks for looking, your right about the lever it's nice to see one as it should be. You made me laugh, with the 'Spoil Trousers' quote imagine how I felt when I first saw it!!! But I think next time I go back I will pick it up just to give it a good going over to look for any makers marks just in case it perhaps came from a WW2 vehicle.
All the best.

A small piece of light weight steel tubing with an interesting end, Ive displayed this relic because it still retains the remains of its original painted id plate. Parts of which are still readable,obviously X3 BEAR ? is the easiest bit to decern but can you make out anymore or identify the original use.
It appears to read:
DRG. 9982 AC
X3 REAR
OUTER
All the best,
PB

Hi LS - 229 is a choke for a hydraulic pressure gauge.

Nice finds again LS. Some interesting bits but none I can ID unfortunately.
BTW, I knew about the rats and coal but had forgotten about the dog poo. This is rather annoying as, when I was out at my USAAF dump there was LOADS of it around. I'll bring some back with me next time I go.
