It's motorbike brake fluid.Possibly anyway.
Been down there walking the dog this morning and found this with BF307 wrote on it.
What does air crash investigation - SMB branch reckon?. MH370 or just bit of the scrap from an old land rover?.

The SMB showing Tony Robinson how it’s done, we’ll have it rebuilt and doing a loop the loop over seaburn Morrisons in 2 years.

I remember stuff years ago advertised as Dural aluminium, some bits on my bike are made from Ergal aluminium and are still shiny like new even after 22 years of sun, rain and salt.

I agree they are much less annoying once they have a partially full oil filter bounced off their cannister.
(Just joking dog lovers)
As requested @lurker. This bit looks almost identical to the piece found by @jimb yesterday. I reckon it could be a cover of some description but it's not thick enough for a pressurized system like the oil cooling system in an engine.

This bit has green paint on it and looks fire damaged. Could be from the outer skin of the engine nacelle.

Well done fella.
Uploading images on here is not the most straight forward operation for a novice.
Very interesting pictures as well.

Nah, not with bolts and locking pins. That's manmade.

Could have been made for the aliens by slave humans captured in rural America.

Excellent post mate.
Definitely the same.To answer some of the questions.
I didn't pick it up unfortunately, I might have been tempted if I found it at the end of the dog walk and not at the start. I didn't want to carry a lump of sharp metal around tbh.
If anyone wants to try to collect it (long shot as it's probably gone back out with the tide now). I found it not far from the steps to the beach just before the South end of the little Italy restaurant. If you go right from the steps on the beach about 20 metres it was around there. Might be able to spot it from the path above tbh.
The bit I found was about 30 cm long.

Found this doing a beach clean at Whitburn a couple of years ago. Some passing fella told us it was part of plane but I had no idea if he knew what he was talking about or not. 
Is this site any help ?

Luftwaffe aircraft part
Hi Guys, My first post have had problems with my password but all sorted. Need a hand to identify this aircraft part. I was informed that it was a Luftwaffe aircraft possibly a BF109. numbers on the inside skin are B99736 L3 H5. Regards, Shane

I love this post. There's loads of history in Sunderland, from stone age and Saxon finds to Roman and world war 2 finds. Who knows what's yet to be found that we've regularly drove or walked by.
