BOCN Guess what it is

[SG500]

I've never shown this on bocn, I only picked it up a few weeks ago.

There are posts of a similar item in section though but not posted by me.

Hint.....Zeppelin....

Dave.

Some more of it.

Ok, Try this one.

I think we're all struggling. It looks like part of a model aeroplane to me.
Any more clues please
Dave.

Is it an inert compass needle?

 

[glevum]

Sorry about the delay,

Here is another view

Not a model aeroplane or compass needle.

 

[SG500]

Is it off a missile? A fin of some sort?

Dave.

 

[glevum]

Correct Dave,

It is rear fin for a Rapier Missile.

Over to you.

Will.

Thanks Dave I have happy memories of looking after one of these for my friend HW. Never did find any batteries for it!

That's where this one came from Norman, minus batteries

Wtf

I hope this is pitched at the right degree of difficulty. It is British, WW2 and only made in small numbers.

M.I.9 Escape-aid pencil for invisible writing!?!

Switch

 

[hangarman]

Is it a training round for a number 8 switch?

 

[Bonnex]

Absolutely spot on H. These were made up at MD1 especially to demonstrate the switch. The capped cartridge case is empty. Operation of the switch just pops the wooden projectile with the noise of the cap firing.

Over to you.
