Flight Engineers tool kit - Cliff?
One i Think more suitable for cliff....
Was there a specific tool that, having been recovered from a Lanc crash site, could possibly fit with the description ".... like a bent coat hangar with a screw driver end"? The "bending" may have happened at journey end ... I'm told that Packard engined Lancs had a beautiful comprehensive factory supplied tool kit, but that may have been appropriated by the ground crew.
Does anyone recognise what it might have been, if not part of a tool kit (don't think it was a replacement aerial, as you sometimes see on cars)!!
Thanks!
Edit: It's apparently the gun stoppage tool. I'm sure it could be used on the Vulture design team too! The silver lining was that both the Halifax, Stirling and Manchester were redesigned as 4 engined bombers, taking them into heavy bomber status and fame.
