No identifying marks or plates visible, though two cross member plate remnants present. 870 x 45mm.\n\nThe lack of identifying marks means that the type and origin of the aircraft cannot be definitively identified from this recovered section. Initially thought to be part of a piston engine support frame from something like a Spitfire fighter, a Dakota transport aircraft, or perhaps one of the multi-engined bombers,this theory was discarded as these are generally circular in section. The double row of rivet holes down one side (presumably where it attached to the skin) suggest it is more likely a stringer of some description. A stringer is a Longitudinal member (i.e. in the fuselage aligned with the longitudinal axis and in wings and tail surfaces perpendicular to this axis) which gives the airframe its shape and provides the support for the skin. In fuselages, they link frames and in aerofoils they link ribs. The consensus therefore, is that it is from the outer wing rib of a single engine aeroplane or the fin\/tail plane rib of a larger multi engine aircraft from the Second World War; and has characteristics that suggest it is from a Royal Air Force or British aircraft. However, due to the corrosion and the very close variations in measurement between both metric and imperial measurements, i.e. millimetres (mm), standard wire gauge (swg) or thousands of an inch (thou), used by aircraft designers during this period, the use of the spacing and diameter of rivets, bolt holes and other spacings combined with any drilling\/stamping errors means that these do not help in identifying the piece. The damage to the piece also means that the use of rivet pitch, which might identify the manufacturer, rather than the country of origin, would be open to a wide degree of error.", "classification":"TRANSPORT", "periodFrom":41, "periodTo":41, "treasure":1, "TID":"218\/17", "workflow":3, "institution":"MAS", "datefound1":"2017-08-23T00:00:00Z", "subClassification":"Vehicle component", "currentLocation":"With finder", "created":"2017-08-23T08:47:41Z", "updated":"2018-05-23T13:59:19Z", "secuid":"111", "width":45, "length":870, "quantity":1, "material":27, "subsequentAction":"28", "completeness":1, "discovery":14, "createdBy":2, "countyID":2625, "county":"East Sussex", "fourFigure":"TQ4400", "fourFigureLat":50.78170298, "fourFigureLon":0.04126088, "what3words":"pastels.dash.stockpile", "precision":10, "creator":"MAS MAS", "updatedBy":"MAS", "materialTerm":"White metal", "primaryMaterialBM":11967, "completenessTerm":"Fragment", "periodFromName":"MODERN", "periodToName":"MODERN", "discoveryMethod":"Fishing", "subsequentActionTerm":"Submitted as wreck to the Receiver of Wreck", "filename":"FIPAD_201708174.JPG", "thumbnail":288, "imagedir":"images\/MAS", "timestamp":"2024-10-09T14:16:38.008Z" }, { "findIdentifier":"finds-109", "id":109, "old_findID":"MAS-F100109", "objecttype":"BOAT", "broadperiod":"MODERN", "description":"This find is an unidentified curved aluminium sheet that measures approximately 0.94 m by 0.24 m and has a thickness of 5 mm.

The shell case appears to have been either constructed without a base, or it has been removed at some point in the past. The diameter of the neck and its overall size point to it being a 4.5-inch or possibly a 4.7-inch shell case. Without the base with the details of type, manufacturer and date of manufacture, the history and origin of this case is not clear. It would have been part of a fixed round, i.e. the shell was attached to the shell case like a large rifle round. The maximum weight of these rounds was around 36 kg (80 lbs), which was the weight considered to be sustainable for loading manually loaded fixed ammunition. The 4.5-inch gun has been the standard medium-gun calibre of the Royal Navy for use against surface, aircraft and shore targets since 1938, and in the case of the 4.7-inch gun since 1916.\n\nThe history of this shell case is unknown, however, based on the damage it has sustained and the degree of corrosion, it appears that the shell was pried out of it and the base cut off with a lathe at some point in the past, before the remainder was lost or discarded.

It has a 'bottle logo' embossed on its base. There are possibly other text\/numerals that have since worn away. The bottle shows moulding scars on the base and sides. It has a crown top finish.\n\nThe egg-shaped bottle was first patented by William Francis Hamilton in 1814, the idea being that the bottle had to be stored on its side to keep the cork wet and ensuring a good seal on the reusable bottle. In around 1870, the flat based egg or Hamilton bottle was introduced. Following the 'blob top' finish being replaced by the crown top and cork sometime after 1892, when this cap design was patented, the design became more popular. This was because the bottles could now be reliably stored upright without cork shrinkage and a leaky seal causing loss of the carbonated gas. This is recognisable on this bottle by the beaded rim that the metal cap fitted over. These are also generally c.25mm in diameter. The cap would have been metal with a cork lining. This, however, lead to the decline in the popularity of torpedo bottles as it made them no longer necessary (Lucas, 2010).\n\nThe mould scar travels up the neck to the lip of the bottle and this would suggest that it was manufactured around 1910 on a semi or fully automated bottle making machine, near to the end of their popularity. The 'bottle logo' on the base is probably the manufactures logo, however, several manufacturers used the same logo as their mark and therefore it has not now been possible to isolate its exact point of manufacture. The bottles were extensively exported from the U.K. and are therefore found around the world, but particularly in the former colonies and North America.", "classification":"BOTTLE", "periodFrom":41, "periodTo":41, "workflow":3, "institution":"MAS", "datefound1":"2017-08-23T00:00:00Z", "subClassification":"Food and liquid storage container", "currentLocation":"With finder", "created":"2017-08-23T08:15:00Z", "updated":"2018-05-23T14:00:10Z", "height":240, "secuid":"103", "diameter":90, "quantity":1, "material":18, "subsequentAction":"28", "completeness":4, "manufacture":9, "preservation":1, "discovery":14, "createdBy":2, "countyID":2625, "county":"East Sussex", "fourFigure":"TQ4400", "fourFigureLat":50.78170298, "fourFigureLon":0.04126088, "what3words":"pastels.dash.stockpile", "precision":10, "creator":"MAS MAS", "updatedBy":"MAS", "materialTerm":"Glass", "primaryMaterialBM":10879, "manufactureTerm":"Moulded", "completenessTerm":"Complete", "preservationTerm":"Fair", "periodFromName":"MODERN", "periodToName":"MODERN", "discoveryMethod":"Fishing", "subsequentActionTerm":"Submitted as wreck to the Receiver of Wreck", "filename":"FIPAD_2017081795.JPG", "thumbnail":241, "imagedir":"images\/MAS", "timestamp":"2024-10-09T14:16:35.969Z" } ], "facets":{ "objectType":{ "AIRCRAFT COMPONENT":1, "BOAT":1, "BOTTLE":1, "PORTHOLE":1, "SHELL CASES":1 }, "county":{ "East Sussex":5 }, "broadperiod":{ "MODERN":5 }, "institution":{ "MAS":5 }, "rulerName":[ ], "denominationName":[ ], "mintName":[ ], "materialTerm":{ "White metal":2, "Yellow metal":2, "Glass":1 }, "workflow":{ "3":5 }, "reeceID":[ ] } }
