Thanks FlyboyJ, i would think so to, is there anyway to know more exact?

Hello! Thought i would try with this on as well. Its an aircraftclock i bought at i fleamarket a while back. I know its a Revue Thommen, and have tried e-mailing them, but the only thing they could tell me is that it was made late 30:s to early 40:s. I have found pictures of clocks from the...

Hello! A friend gave me this piece of an lancaster, the info on the piece is that it came from a lancaster that crashed in august -44 after a bomb raid on stetin, probably the id of aircraft is Oor Wullie, LL757. The date and place of find makes it at least 99% ocf being this aircraft...

Just a thought could GS 2966 be the number of the aircraft, or does anyone have an idea what it could mean?

Hi A4K! Yes i know about the sk 15 but chose to use the international designation so more people shold know what i was writing about. This could be from on of the klemm the swedish airforce bought from germany during the war, but i doubt it a little bit as there are no swedish markings on it...

Thanks for all of your replies and for taking the time to help me with my questions! Im very happy with my prop, even if i cant find out the exact airplane it came from its wartime dated and that is good enough for me. This is the third in my collection, i also have an soviet ilyushin il-4...

Thanks for your reply Crimea_river! After searching the web i think that i have som additional info. On the aluminium plaque it says Motor: HM504a2 and not 50402 as i first thought, this is for the engine Hirth HM 504-A2 that was used in Kl 35 Flugz: KL35S means probably Flugzeug KL35...

Lucky 13 sorry for a very late reply! It was a lot of Lancasters that came down in sweden, especially in the southern parts. I have found one place out in a forrest that is full of pices and melted metal that i think is parts of engines. Visit Forcedlanding Collection - FLC for more info about...

Thats interesting Danny! Is it something you do as a hobby or is it your line of work? Do you have a webpage where its possible to read about the recoverys you have made? If you are interested in anything with swedish connections i would be glad to help! /Jocke

Also Danny, maybe you find this interesting, it is a story about one of the crewmen in ME592! Flying Officer Gordon Leslie Piprell There is also a little more info about the crash. All the best! /Jocke

Hi Danny! Please let me know if he knows anymore. It has become somewhat of a hobby of mine to find lancaster crash sites. So far i have found 4 different locations out in the forests and found scrap pieces on every spot, as soon as winter is over i have 3 more possible locations to take a look...

Hi Danny! Thanks for the info! Do you know anymore about where in the wing or is it a piece found on several places in an aircraft? ME592 crashed in the water just outside the small village of Vejbystrand, only one in the crew survived Sgt (SO) E.W. Cunningham. The other crew is burried in a...

If someone has an idea where i can look to search for info please let me know. The markings should propably be able to point in some direction!? /Jocke
