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!

Now the cider has worn off.... Yes, and that piece was alledgedly from an operational loss. He was, however, sold it as a bit of Hurricane so the providence not great.

I have a similar part
i have a similar part 30008 4359 given to me 15 years ago and at that time said to have come off a Hurricane flown by Belgian pilot and shot down over Kent Nov. 1 1940. This forum solved the mystery! how do i post pics of it?

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!
