OK folks, here is a real challenge for you all.
Member 'ajgatessex' ......... ( some of Tonys' previous finds ....... viewtopic.php?f=6&t=1879 ) has been out fossicking again and found these 'parts' just a coup[le of days ago, 28th June, 2013.
Tony says that they are all metal parts and may be an engine mount or alike.................... any thoughts?
Good Luck !
John

Unfortunately, I have no other images and you are seeing the current state of the objects so if any member has any thoughts as to what these are, please do not hesitate to be vocal.

John,
I think it could be the mounting for the fixed Castoring Tailwheel!
Looking at the middle insert sleeve component on the right an the securing bolt and washer and nuts
it looks like this would have given flexibility movement on landing!

Bob
