Daz ! 😉

Missis just gave the orders to do the washing up so i chucked the control column in the dishwasher and come out like a new penny, mind you do need to pay for a quality brand of detergent !!!. Shame the prop wont fit in.

That looks better! Detergent must be “Daz”!!! 😀 Really nice find after all – well done – We never did find the gun button for ours, despite some serious searching through over two tons of metal cornflakes.

Hi Ian & Gareth

Thought that prop looked familiar – even if it has less blades than ours! :p Shame about the grip – looks like you have a fossil on your hands! A tad cold for a dig though IMO, but you seem to have so many to fit in! 😮 At least you are managing to complete a few projects though, as all of our seemed to fall by the wayside this year 🙁 Been out today & finally got a consent form signed for one of the Mustangs though 😀

Learned something new today, thought a defiant spade grip was the same as a hurricane grip AH2040, but it appears to be a dunlop pattent AH2075 stick with electric gun button drilled in center for cable for the switch box

Spot on identfication Andy! It was a bit cold for smiling, or anything else for that matter. An intersting day if a bit of a ‘daz mine’ most of the structure had reduced to oxide and the steel was very rusty. The blade however is immaculate and still has the yellow tip and there is a section of panel with the Ki gas pump to be carefully straightened out.

You would think that someone who just recovered a rather rare Defiant blade would at least smile……….

Well, you people on here really do need to get out more!! Correct:rolleyes:

307 Squadron Colerne Defiant N3391. Sgt W. Dukszto / Sgt J. Banys took of on operational duties 24-Apr-41 with crew baling out after experiencing vibration from the engine. The pilot’s parachute became tangled in the gun barrels of the turret. He was able to free himself and land safely, the Defiant crashed near Carlton Musgrave

Defiant?
