Whats this from?

This British item seems to have a P/N in the same format as the Spitfire.
28507 SHT 315

For the Spitfire the 1st 3 numbers are the Model Type say 379, then the next 2 relate to the type of part, like 45 and then the SHT # is the drawing for that part.
Example is 37945-1 is the General Arrangement of the Fuel System for the Mk XIV. 37947-1 is the General Arrangement of the Oil System. -1 is the SHT 1.

I'm unsure if it is a tool or a part that will allow manual movement of something on the airframe.

Wild guess. A tool to adjust cables.

Just my .10, looks like some sort of camlock type driver for drain plugs or sump plugs.

If Vickers-Armstrong used the same parts numbering system as Vickers-Supermarine then the 285 might mean it is for a Wellington bomber.

As to what it does....no idea!

Thats what I was wondering, what A/C would be a type 285.
The numbering system sounds logical then.
Thx
