OK. I apologise for the previous Quiz.

I will not introduce Belgian cartoonist's creations into the quiz again (Easy promise...).
To make this quiz more Texan-Capable, this is a US type.
Clues later, but I don't think this one will run to three pages, somehow.
Q: What, where? (To retain an element of fun, people from the object location are asked to keep out, so the rest of us can enjoy...)
It's a part. It's the right way up. There can be a pic of more of it if this is a stumper.
Go!

Looks like where the horizontal stabilizer goes on a.......... airplane of some sort?

Is it a vertical stab, looks like a fin flash there,and the horizontal stad would bolt there, maybe hudson...

That looks like the underside of a wing, where either a bomb rack or drop tank rack was attached. Note the smaller attach points to the left where anti-sway braces should be.
Am I on the right track, JDK?

That's correct, but I can't make it fit the answer, Jack! Sorry.

Looks to me like it might possibly be the horizontal stab off something WWIIish, perhaps a T-6?

Now I know we have different versions of English for the various flying surfaces, but I'm interested in the difficulty over "it's the right way up"...
Technically it's not quite at the right angle, but it's orientation, as seen is correct.
It's definitely W.W.IIish. And an American design.
Probably from the least-well represented US manufacturer, in terms of survivor numbers against W.W.II production.

Given some of my local knowledge (although I'm not technically from the object's location) am I out of the running for this one James?

Hey - give us a break!
I didn't use the word empennage. And what's your guess?

Is it part of the Werribee Liberator project, James?
The marking seems to be RAAF.
