mtskull Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 (edited) Recovered (legally) from the crash site of a Bristol Beaufighter shot down onto the sea in 1944. Any help identifying this item would be much appreciated. The scale on the ruler is in centimetres; the object itself appears to be aluminium but with some kind of bitumastic coating. Another, damaged, example (which we left on the sea bed) appears to be packed solid with a bluish, powdery substance. My thoughts are that it may be a component from an emergency landing flare or even the self-destruct incendiary device but any suggestions or definitive information most welcome.
