  1. Adrian we had also spotted that it was MIA. I am wondering if the British Museums approach to the Elgin Marbles holds here.
  2. Strangely enough my daughter did take it to Bovington shortly after she acquired it and showed it to the Research staff but they did not twig it was associated with one of theirs. She will send them a note...
  3. My daughter picked this dat plate up at a coin vendors market stall yesterday. We assume that it was a mark III that was later converted to a mark 11. The date in 49 appears to be when only mark III were being made. The LR is Long Range meaning more fuel tanks ? Any further information greatly received.
  4. Adrian - are you saying that G code was this ordnance list: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_the_United_States_military_vehicles_by_supply_catalog_designation#G1_to_G99
  5. Thank you Chris I will have a look at both.
  6. No offence is taken. Image with scale..
  7. This was being sold as B-17 but it is steel and the paint, curvature and part numbers are not correct. It looks more like an AFV part and given the curvature possibly turret ? Only roughly knocked back into shape. Part number is C 2_18981 and inspectors stamp in a circle P __ over 60. 6 inches deep. 12 inches wide and 4 inches tall. Paint is cream so possible white that has yellowed. Any suggestions ?
  8. I acquired a relic CAV board from Eastern Europe. It is a 24V 37S-8X. Similar in appearance to a Cav 151. As it was in Eastern Europe and from Lend Lease can anyone narrow down the vehicle these were used on. I was assuming Infantry Tank but I cannot confirm if this is true. Rather than have multiple coils it has a single coil and a J.Stone of Deptford automatic regulator - if this helps. Thank you.
  9. thank you Adrian. not CTL so not Canadian
  10. Thank you Adrian. Avro Lancasters made in Canada have a VA inspectors stamps for Victory Aircraft. Those made in UK were inspector stamped R3 ( or RY for Yeadon) so I had hoped there was a similar differentiation. Thank you.
  11. Sorry I do not understand the box lid has 1148/A as part number and the catch has TL12164. I am more used to aircraft parts where I can access the full parts list so this is new to me.\
  12. Can I ask one final question that may be obvious to you all- so I apologise if it is a stupid one.. Ford UK made the Universal Carrier at Dagenham - I assume from late 30's.onwards/ Ford of Canada made the Universal Carrier in Canada production starting in 1941. Ford US made the T16 with production started in 43. From the stamped FMCO 41 can anyone say if it was made at Dagenham or in Canada ? Thank you for your patience.
  13. Thank you- sorry scientist so always confirming everything. Much appreciate for all your help. Bran
  14. Ok I was Ok with Universal Carrier as it was painted green. I have spent all week looking at UC boxes and none fit. Today I electro de rusted it and the green has come off and it was painted grey underneath. I was told it was Churchill when I bought it. The maker is FM Co. and dated 41. Which may not be Ford and may be another maker ? Thank you for considering.
