Interesting story, but this is not a tail skid. Good try.

Ok another clue. It is somewhere towards the nose of the aircraft, on the fuselage somewhere.

Could it be the Tiger Moth's exhaust pipe under the cowling? . As for the red thing, maybe to catch the excess oil drips

Since the one was too big the Donier DoX will probably bo too large as well.

SO, my next guess is Blohm & Voss BV 138.
