Well luckily it come through the door not the roof!
It's a part of the tail fin from a Lockheed TriStar ex RAF No 216 Squadron

cool item! what are ya going to do with it? its not 1st part of one of those magazines where each month you get another part until its finished 9-) lol

Last year I had a real Buzzard in my workshop for 6 weeks, it was injured and i managed to catch it and looked after it until it was ready to fly again, almost lost a finger when it was feeling better but worth it to see it fly off. In 2004 did same thing with a Roe Deer which even came into my lounge to get warmed up! strange lot us country boys ya know :cool:
 
Well this is what it looks like now.

I'm glad the guy who cut this out was not building planes, it was not very neat or square so I thought easy just trim it up a bit, well after all it's only a bit of Alli right, wrong this stuff is like steel - spring steel, and the precision of construction and strength of just this small piece will make me feel much safer the next time I fly, (so long as the plane still has a tail fin that is).
