Hello again Uwe:
I had a reply from David Collins, who spends a good deal of his time over at Salisbury Hall, where the Mosquito Museum is located.
His post was:
"Chatting to a collegue from Salisbury hall at the weekend can I can add a few more details to this mosquito part.
Niether of serial numbers shown are the the aircraft construction number unfortunately, however they do identify it as being from a mosquito elevator.
J981018 is a drawing number and identifies an elevator assembly.
1718 is not the a/c construction number.
The "GPB" reference is likely to be the sub-contractors initials, and is one we have'nt seen before.
The exact location of the find would establish a better chance of getting the true identity.

Hope this helps.
So, is there any information as to the location of the find?\
