-Looks like a Spitfire part number 30008 etc therefore a bit of wing, really cannot ID it though. + 6S (Supermarine) inspection stamp would seem to confirm this.
looks to be Stainless Steel or is it Ali?

-Certainly Spitfire 300, Mk1 and 08 is wing, It is a blanking plate for the outer 303 gun ports, perhaps an interum mod when changing from the A wing to the B with the cannons?
Tell him to keep digging!

-Alan.
You need to open a (free) account with Photobucket ( http://photobucket.com/ ) or Flickr ( http://www.flickr.com/)
These are effectively online albums
You upload your images to there
Once uploaded each gives you the ability to copy an image URL for that picture, which you then paste into post. The picture then appears like magic
You will recognise the url you need as it is enclosed by the image tags
Give this a try before we get round to doing it for you.
Best regards

-If you look very closely at the camouflaged 'outside' you might see it stamped Gun Camera, I have one which confused me till I found the writing!
