Can Anyone Please Identify What This Is & It's Purpose (WW.II RAF Bomber Base) was created by Hornchurch
Hello Folks,
As per thread title...
Can Anyone Please Identify What This Is & It's General Intent or Purpose In Life ?
(It's from an WW.II RAF Bomber Base). Air Ministry stamped, right ?

Can ou say how big it is or what material it is made from?
You mention an AM Stamp, but I cannot see "AM" or the "arrow up" in the photo?

Reminds me of a weight to hold surface cables down.

The shape of it to me suggests that it was used as the base for the end of a support strut, beam or rib of some kind? It looks like it's designed for something to sit inside it and not allow said thing to push off the back.
Some sort of support for a curved structure, perhaps?
The font looks Air Ministry as you say, but also as NetCompSys says, if it was an official Government stamp it would have the "crows foot" as we called it and the responsible authority (i.e. Air Ministry) stamped as well. What we don't know is that this isn't stamped elsewhere on the block, though.
