How much should I bid for this eBay gem…?

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150181767947&ssPageName=ADME:B:SS:GB:1123

Almost as abused as the Spitfire when it comes to mis-described goods…:rolleyes:

Ya see, I knew it was you! 0 timed Spit eh, I’ve got an “out of hours” one, but thats obviously no use to you!

No I couldn’t possibly accept an out of hours one, anyway i know you are not seriously interested because you havent asked if the Lanc front section is a Genuine Dams raid piece. I can always spot the serious buyer.;)

Either that, or someone in the know has made him a cash offer! Graham? Graham?

I happen to know that Guy Gibson had a complete Graham Farish train set in his Dambuster Lancaster, I now have the complete set including rusty engines,trucks, coaches. signals and track all set out on a scale model of the Ruhr dams. Apparently it was set up in the bomb aimers position as on the dams raid they didnt need the usual bomb aiming equipment just a couple of sticks shaped like a V stuck together. According to documents i have seen Guy used to while away the tedious hours operating this HIGH QUALITY train set on the way to and from targets. I have been waiting many years to collect this final piece. The complete set is now on sale set up in a complete genuine nose section of a Lancaster. I will accept £1,000,000 in cash or swap for a 0 timed flying Spitfire, I wont accept anything with more than 10 hours on the clock. Being British i expect you to form an orderly queue, please don’t block my PM box.
I hope this answers your question Stuart??:)

Classic – absolutely classic.

I wonder if I should misdescribe all my stuff, and see if I get any more money!

I have an old Roman brooch, I could consider selling it on ebay as a ‘genuine RAF veterans toga brooch’, after all, one of the old boys I know, was in at the same time Pontious was a pilot;)

Bidding has ended for this item. The seller ended this listing early because the item is no longer available for sale.

Perhaps the numbers 20,40,60,and 80, are presets for the number of bounces….

😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀

Seriously though, I give up… Does this guy think that some of us were born yesterday?
No bids… I wonder why?! :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

And I thought that the spinning mechanism was connected directly to the air engineer’s push bike, mounted next to the pilot….. with a genuine sturmey archer three speed gear system. I’m selling the original Sturmey Archer gear set from Guy Gibson’s Pushbike bomb spinner. yours for only 250 quid…..:D 😀

As an aside, I have a Graham Farish loco which would run on the ebay bomb spinner / model railway controller…. I might sell it claiming it was standard fit to all WWII Buccanneer Fighters……:D :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Surely the 20, 40 etc refers to the height of bomb release. These genuine controls connect directly to the range and height meters.

Yep, that’s it!

“Set the Graham Farish Spotlight controller to 60′ Pulford, I’m starting the bomb run!”

Tomorrow’s Daily Mail:

Last Great Dambusting Secret Revealed.

How model railway controller helped smash Ruhr dams!

I bet Peter Jackson’s got his cheque book out ready and waiting.

Actually, I should stop Googling Graham Farish Locomotive – it makes me want to go out and buy one! 😮

“Graham Farrish Control. Warning; stop locomotive before changing direction”?

I wonder if I have any model railway stuff in my attic that I could put on evil-bay as genuine WW2 stuff.:eek:
