Author	Topic: 384989541830: Space Shuttle inconel nut
joe2636 Member Posts: 15 From: UK Registered: Dec 2017	posted 10-02-2022 10:44 AM I've seen this frangible nut from the space shuttle apparently from the external tank umbilical plate but no other information. Just wondering if it's authentic shuttle flown? Or from the shuttle?

It seems (but this I only have from ready) that the 'administration' of Charlie was not always as "clear" as it should or could be. May be it is listed in one of the auctions of his stuff. A quite similar item is currently under auction.
