bulged cover
Hello,
This bulged cover (about 30 cm) was found on a former WWI aerodrome in Belgium. its distinctive drop-like shape and aluminum made lead for an aircraft, perhaps a cover for cable pulley? Thank you for identification. Best regards ClinA-78 PS: Is anyone here 'specialist' in identification of German WWI aircraft parts ? |

Without knowing what's on the other side of it I would guess it was an inner aileron pulley cover from the top port or bottom starboard wing from a DH.4 or DH.9. |

Thanks for replying.
@ rsanz : DH.4 or DH.9 would make sense as a RAF Sqn occupied the drome after the Armistice. There are only those two holes at the right side. @ Brad : What do you mean about Austrian parts? Sorry my WW1 A/C parts knowledge is limited. Best regards ClinA-78 |

It seems the cover does not fit the DH.4 or DH.9 outfit. Perhaps a picture should help.
Thanks for your beforehand help. ClinA-78 |

Hi,
It certainly looks like a DH9 pulley cover to me too. I helped to restore one in the late 1980's and early 1990's, and became very familiar with most of the components of it. How do you know that it's not from a DH9 (or a DH4 - I think many parts are the same as on the DH9). The only German aeroplane I can think of with external aileron control wires are some versions of early Albatros B types such as the B.II. I've got a book about the B.II (written by a member here) so I will have a look at it to see if the B.II had pulleys for the aileron control wires, and whether or not the pulleys had covers. Regards, David. |

Thanks David,
You should be more expert than me in this matter. Any chance to have a picture of that pulley cover fixed on the DH.4/9 by the way? I checked the available pictures but found nothing. The part was found not far away from... a AEG G.IV part. Not related however. Best regards. ClinA-78 |
