The lower part of the terret is a C section 'skirt', lozenge shape, with a single drilled hole in one corner and single sets of small…

White metal, of light weight, probably aluminium. Fragment from a hollow strut or component of external diameter c.100mm, very slightly flared at the top.

This is probably from an aircraft, and the extent of corrosion may arise from the intense heat of a catastrophic explosion and fire. The finder has previously reported similarly distressed debris from the documented site of a downed British bomber. The material was kindly identified by members of the North Lincolnshire Pottery Research…
