Or a place keeeper some collector added ? Gary Cain has confirmed this as being from a P-51. He has removed these a few times while working at air shows. Gary also belongs to W-A, he saw my post on this on that site and confirmed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen where some parts were used on multiple planes so it makes sense that the hydraulic pump itself would be the same part number as one on a B-25 but the handle and other parts were different. Great stuff! I love to see airplane trivia like this. Thanks again for the update! ...Kat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
