Need help! WW2 Airfield - Cool finds and one strange one !
Hey guys
With only a week to go before my baby is due, I am cramming in a couple of last visits before I am grounded for 3 months by the wife !
This visit to my usual WW2 airfield came up with some unusual finds, one of which I need help with !
The nettles are still high and brambles thick but I am so used to being stung and scratched now that I don't notice it until I get home and the missus exclaims 'BLOODY HELL ! Look at the state of your ARMS !!!' :D :D :D :D
Despite the number of visits to this airfield I am still finding alot of relics on every visit......it's going to be years before I clear the place !
Anyways.............onto the finds.
Firstly before any cleaning.
And then the smaller stuff after cleaning......
And now the bigger stuff.
Firstly, an American water bottle !! I was dead chuffed when this came out the ground ! Despite the fact it is in a sorry old state, I think it is one of the best finds I've made at the site. You can just make out a 'US' stamp as well :D :D
And now what I think is a carburettor.
However, I am by know means an expert on such things and it could prove to be a bit of old water/gas pipe !
There is a stamp on it which I believe reads 'ALEMITE' but it is difficult to read.
Is it a carburettor ? And if so, anyway of telling what it's off ? I think it's too small to be off an aircraft engine but then again I have the same knowledge about engines as I have about 'dark matter'.
A few odds and sods which I can't identify although the circular thing may be a filter housing off a gask mask (What do you reckon gasmasksuk ?), and the bent piece is almost certainly a bit of airframe.
On this visit to the airfield I finally tracked down the MG range (this is different to the Cannon Butts I had previously identified), and found a shed load of small arms cartridges and spent bullets. There are plenty more there as I only managed to get to a small area due to the undergrowth.
.45 calibre cartridges.........
.30 calibre cartridge, .30calibre M1 carbine cartridges, one 9mm cartridge and the remains of a .303
After searching the new area I went back to the area I have previously searched 4 times. This area has so far yielded most of my exciting finds (e.g. the Merlin exhaust ports and 20mm/50cal bonanza !!), and it is STILL yielding finds.
.50 cal cartridges.........
And 20mm cartridges.
AND the tip off a 20mm projectile, this time MINUS the gain so perfectly safe :D :D
After cleaning it also showed itself to be very nicely stamped with a makers mark, date and lot number !
KOP 12 -42 LOT K7
So a decent visit again !
I want to try and get back ONCE more before the baby comes. It's due next Thursday 27th August. It's gonna be close but I should do it !!
Hope you like the finds and can help with the carburettor, if that is what it is :D :D :D
