Hi All,
I've been busy recently with my searches of a WW2 UK airfield and have made a few interesting but unidentified finds. I'm posting this thread to see if anyone can help identfy any. What they were perhaps used for/part of?
Remember to take time today to respect all the veterans and their families, the 65th Anniversary of D DAY Normandy.
On to some finds....
1) This is light weight hollow tube with alloy ends with four bolt holes. The ends are at right angles to each other.
2) These look like part of a motor like the spark plugs but they are hollow tubes. The whole item is very light in weight beening made of thin alloy.
3) Unidentified steel part with alloy moving armature marked GD28 then Zor2141155orSS-2

Hi Guys, today is the 65th anniversary and I have spent most of the day watching the live coverage of the news from Normandy on the BBC.
I was interested to see some of the Veterans being honoured by French President Nicolas Sarkozy with the Legion of Honour. The US Veteran decorated was Zane Schlemmer I have had the pleasure of meeting him personally. So I was really pleased to see him honoured! He was a US Paratrooper with the US 508th Parachute Infantry Regt. He was based in my home town of Nottingham in 1944 and that is how I first got to meet him many years ago now. He lives in Hawai.
If you do a search on his name, you can find a lot written about him.
Cheers, Ade.

Nice un-messed helmet, just like it came back from Europe 64 years ago. This one is a recent find from the veterans family. In good condition with most of the original paint and decals remaining. The leather liner and chinstrap are a bit dry and the chinstrap broke in the middle, but all parts are present.
Pay-pal (+%4) or Postal Money Order preferred.
