The data plate is very interesting indeed. Whilst it is possible that it too came from the Go 145 that landed at Lewes during August 1940 it is equally likely that it originated from anywhere else in Europe or the Med area. In fact, many of the thousands of data plates found at Kenley in the 1980's were taken from German aircraft - or wrecks - inspected by AI(g) overseas as well as at home. Therefore, I still suspect the rudder pedal is from the sole UK example. At least.....I prefer to think so!!!!
