Bruce, thanks, I have already told my friend and he recalled a conversation we had had at Point Cook re instruments.

Thank you all for the positive comments. I know that my friend would prefer them to go to where they will be best used. Can anyone definitely ID the crate as being Hurricane.
Apparently the original owner had all sorts of junk and one item my friend recalls seeing but does not know what happened to it was an ME109 servicing kit!

I have no financial interest but I would like the owner to have a fair recompense (whatever that might be)
