I agree, its an upside-down Meteor nose cone too. The fairing behind the drivers head is mounted onto the nose leg door.

This seller is very lucky to find so many objects covering so many subjects with "faded old" museum labels to give provenance to the item which is always rather exciting too! no other seller on ebay can offer such "unique" items.

Take care guys the 100% wartime powdered milk is 1980s compo, who thought someone would fake compo? ;)

Actually I know of a dump on an old airfield with a lot of binned compo......I'm rich, rich I tell you!

Shocked! Next you'll be telling me that the 1943 stamp
"RAF Code,Ref No 29P/9 1943. Still intact after 70 + years."
on the matching tin of marmalade from the same seller is fake as well. :D

If these have been listed ironically it is going over my head.:confused:

A nice copy, cast from an original. Not smooth enough, not crisp enough. Some countersinking left out and the screw is a new addition.
