Air Ministry fuel traps wanted x2

Well, the forum helped me get a pair of Merlin thermostats – I am also looking for a pair of fuel traps – used on most RAF WWII aircraft – Air Ministry stores ref no. 6a/715.

I have the rather squashed remains of one but that’s it so far.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Peter

That would be nice, but no plans to do that unfortunately.

Hello Elliot
Good to see you were able to acquire the merlin thermostats and I am pleased that they are going to a good home! Just wondering, are you thinking of running one of the engines?
