Have you ever tried finding a Halifax throttle box? I know the feeling:D 😀 😀 😀
We have recovered several cable cutters over the years, but none were in good condition being made of low grade materials I think (apart from the chisel). We found one with the remains of a steel cable in it. Must have given the crew a fright at the time.

When i was as at a vintage glider rally at Haddenham. Some years ago, a old fellow showed me cable cutter. It looked like new. It was the only one i have seen. I never saw the guy again. So there must be one out there some where!
