Vintage wing strut? Help with ID gratefully received!
A local cadet unit has found this in their stores and wondered what it was. The consensus is that it's a strut. It has a symmetrical aerofoil cross-section and the ends appear to be blacksmith-made i.e. they have a hammered appearance. It's spruce; it has four holes in in two pairs but I think they may be mounting holes from a previous display board:
First, do you agree it's a strut? Second, does anyone know what from?

I think the tiles are 1ft square, will check when I get into work tomorrow but it's about 5ft long which would be about right.
I'm guessing that if it has been lovingly preserved by a cadet unit it's probably from a military type, though not necessarily I guess.
Thanks for any help.
