-the tapered shiny part looks to be the roller in the ammunition guide for the nose/mid-upper gun turret. Can't say what the other parts are

-The last two photographs show part of an observer type parachute, are there any missing crewmembers still aboard?

-The first two items look like a high pressure valve from the engine's electro-pneumatic ram. See the Wreckage of Lancaster ED908 (60-Z) thread for further details (page 39, post #1146). We have an identical part (although from a Merlin engine).

-Thanks to All for your identifications.
All crew members were found and burried in the local cimetary by the local priest. After the war they were moved to the Dürnbach Military Cimetary.
Greetings and have a good time

Hello friends,
in the night of 27.08.1944 the Stirling Bomber EE942 (QS-R) crashed here in Franconia retourning from a Nürnberg Raid after attack of a German nightfighter. All seven crew members died.
Enclosed parts are from this crash site. Can anyone help for identification?
The silver shining part is magetic but not corroded and was fixed to a rusty steel fragment. A fascinating shape and I have no idea what this parts function was.
The non corroded buccle was fixed on a heavy corroded steel part.
Thanks in advance for your ideas.
