Hi, newly registered but have spent a fair bit of time on here heading down WWII rabbit holes. A Twitter friend of mine took interest in an aluminium find that I had posted. After a fair bit of discussion with the RAF Museum and a number of experts and enthusiasts, I was advised to post the find on here to see what you all thought of it. Found on the Norfolk coast in late December 2019, it measures approximately 35cm x 16cm and seems to have the ID stamp of 'FB58505' on it (pictured). I won't prejudice anyone's thinking as to what this may be by telling you what the RAF Museum's opinion is immediately. I would love to hear what people think and if this community is as knowledgeable as is rumoured. Cheers all, Tim
Hey, it's been a while... The wonderful Aircraft Restoration Company have got back to me and have told me it's a cylinder baffle from a Bristol Mercury engine. You can see further details here: Bristol Blenheim Mercury eng. cowl bracing close-ups (photo heavy)
