?Landing Gear Mechanism

Had a very productive day on the hills around Carnedd Ffiliast, Elidir Fawr/Fach today. Came across some remains of a Bristol Blenheim V6099 of 13OTU, which flew into Elidir Fach at night, on 30th. March 1943. It was not found for 12 days, and sadly there were no survivors.

The parts that I came across appear to be suspension/landing gear remains, also there was an aluminium cover, and pieces, which have signs of extreme heat exposure.

Other minor parts were found higher up on the hill.
