Need help in identifying P47 parts
Dear all,
I have some parts of a Thunderbolt P47 and I was wondering if someone could help me with the identification of them or perhaps know someone who can help me. Here they come! I think this one is clear, the head of a piston. ![]() A couple of pieces plexiglass, probable of the canopy. ![]() Looks like some sort of rudder or handle, maybe for the flaps or to eject? Can the ring be asbestos? ![]() Guess this can be anything... Note the electric wire. ![]() A piece of the rubber fuel tank. ![]() This is a rather large piece and is very heavy, maybe some sort of exhaust pipe? ![]() Again a large piece of aluminium, can be anything I guess. ![]() I have no idea what this can be, but it sure is heavy! ![]() It seems it is made of cast iron (?). ![]() If you need some more pictures of a specific part, just let me know! Thanks in advance! Dennis Notenboom The Netherlands |

Re: Need help in identifying P47 parts
The last two pics may be part of the landing gear & trunnion fittings, due to the weight.
Regards, Mike |

Re: Need help in identifying P47 parts
Dennis you could also post this over on the Flypast forums. There are quite a number of people on there who work with warbirds and also WWII aircraft recovery.
