I've butted in on a few other people's threads so thought I'd better start one of my own. I've been fortunate to attend or organise a fair few MoD licenced aircraft digs and here are some recovered items which might be interesting:
Mohawk BK877 crashed in Wiltshire in 1941, killing Squadron Leader John Dutton AFC. It was a French contract aircraft requisitioned by the RAF. The Brownings have been deactivated and certfied by the London proof house. Full story here:Aviation Archaeology - Excavations

Hi all,

I recently came across this item on my travels through Europe. Can anyone determine whether this is genuine or fake? Also does anyone have any idea of the costs of these, no manufacturer logo? Many Thanks,

Garry Taylor

These two beauties finally arrived after a long 4 week wait. Postal service down here was on strike for a while, one day I think. The rest of the time taken is classical African efficiency.:D I got these from my friend Jo and am very pleased with them. The M1/42 is an opaque red enamel type and somewhat rare. The M1/77 is the more common transparent red enamel.

Hi guys, this is my first post on what appears to be a fantastic forum :)

I have to give as much input to the community as i can.

I am quite new to the detecting community.

I have permission to metal detect on a particular old base & have uncovered several items including the following pieces.

Can anyone identify them?

the 2p coin sized object is stamped CBAF TOOL CHECK and I think is copper
I believe this stands for Castle Bromwich Aircraft Factory & is some kind of calibration item, can anyone enlighten?

I think the large ring with 110mm diameter is a compression/pison ring from something.

The large lamp bowl appears to be made of copper & am unsure if this is car/aircraft?

The long pin is about 5" long and the twisted wire piece swivels, appears to be some kind of safety pin?

Any help would be much appreciated, appologies if the pictures have some blur, im working on it.

thanks all.
