What do you mean by cocarde?
I've heard of RAF WWII lower wing roundels being referred to as cockades but I'm not seeing a roundel anyway
 
I'm going to go with Hawker Hurricane port wing leading edge root section, there does appear to be a filler cap visible on some of your photos

English - cockade, French - cocarde.

Sorry for my poor language , yes cockade is cocarde in french !
no idea about this part of wing ? the man who found this part told me that's a piece of spitfire
just want to know the type of aeroplane and if this part of wing have or no serial number somewhere , but if that's yes where ?
Thank you for all member who help me
Cheers
 
Are there any part numbers on it or stamps?

Hi,
Correct....You should look for the small fabrication stamps. For example a Spitfire build at the factory at Castle Bromwich would have a small circular stamp with the lettercode VACB followed by a number. That will give you a good lead identifying the type of a/c. Use the link I include to our website and look at photo 11 to see what I mean.

On Saturday, August 13, 2005, the Arga performed the salvage of a RAF Spitfire LF MkIXe. The device was probably shot down by FLAK on 08/02/1945.

These stamps are quiet common on almost every part.

Cheers,
Sander

p.s I see that I have to give our webmaster a hint for the text in the link and title of the webpage.....!?
