It’s not been a brilliant year for finds.

A WW1 era magneto switch, obviously adapted for other purposes as it was liberally slobbered in emulsion paint, a WW1 era Elliotts Bank Indicator, as seen on the dashboard of your Microsoft Sopwith Camel etc, a n.o.s. Twinob magneto switch, still with Stores tag, much sought after by Tiger Moth restorers (and others), and a 9 gallon drinking water tank from a Lancaster.

I also picked up a Pilot’s Handbook for the Martin Baltimore, sort of a cross between the Pilot’s Notes and a slimmed down Volume 1 Air Publication – fascinating stuff about an almost forgotten aeroplane which did much good service in the Middle East.

As I scan this list, I realise with dismay that none of it came from the aerojumbles! 🙁
