Collectors – wish list item?

Just for fun…not for a project…

A B-17 nose piece..
A F-102 radar cone…
Anything from a C-124….

It’s a good thing I didn’t move to Tucson or I’d have something in my back yard…I know a guy with a bunch of H-34s (a piston powered Wessex) for sale…or a F-104 (but Anne, it’s small!).

Perfectly true I’m afraid!

Alan and Rob youre welcome any time!

TT

BTW – Bod – go to bed!

Rocketeer – did i ever tell you about the story of finding 12 boxed brand new Shack yokes in a lock up in London about 2 years ago…..actually we thought they were Lanc at the time…….! Still, ebay is a wonderful thing…none left and actually they are quite different (our plans for retirement soon turned to dust when we found out they werent Lanc 🙁

TT

nice story!!!!

All I want is……more time!
Time to spend with the family,
Time to go to all the shows I never seem to get to,
Time to help out at the Classic Flight,
Time to read all the books I want to read,
Time to help other people with their projects, blenhiem ,Brunty Lightnings, TT with the Texan and Beech.
Its no good I will just have to win the Lottery!
Alan.
Ps Notice I didn’t mention work, what a waste of a persons time!

Not the only one, ideally i’d love to help out at Bruntingthorpe and with the Blenheim but not having a car makes it pretty difficult at the moment!

For me a Canberra and JP cockpit sections in the garden,who wants to sit in the conservatory and look at PLANTS…
My silly one, the flight in the SA lightning..

a Fouga Magister front cockpit section

A Control Column., either from a Mosquito or a Lancaster.

A propellor blade..any blade from a World War Two aircraft, British, German or American.

A piece of B-26 Marauder from a 391st BG aircraft.This to mount and give to a friend in the USA who is a Historian with the 391st.

So many things from aircraft I would love to own and display at home, far too numerous to list 🙂

All I want is:-
Lanc Yoke
Spitfire frames 5, 9, 10 & 11
Cockpit skins for Spit
Some nice original bits for it!

Nuffink needed for the Hurri except time and a better wing centre section!!

Great idea this thread. I think it shoud be made sticky so people can add whants to it and people whho may be able to help with the items can find the person easily.
Once i come back from America i may add somethings. My money goes towards that trip at the moment but afterwoods who knows.

Know of a complete Dak instrument panel which (if the chap still has it) may be for sale – also the Museum has two dak W/OP seats….dont know if we’d let one go….. PM me if of interest….

TT

just called him – sold it on ebay THIS WEEK but the chap hasnt come to collect it yet…so theres still a chance if he doesnt- got £400 for it but its original, nice, and c/w instruments…can still PM number… TT

My wish list consists of set of C-47 / Dakota pilot & co-pilot seats (the unusual looking inward slanting type). I’m sure that there are dozens of the things languishing in derelict airframes throughout the world, I just can’t get my hands on them!

Any leads greatly appreciated…….!

Sorry my misunderstanding… 🙁

– thing is if you start on a Stearman and work your way up to Janie – you’ll need MH to add a BT-13 or Cornell to the fleet to go from ‘Primary’ to ‘Advanced’ in flight school…

TT

I thought you flew Fools Rush In Chris now and again….?

Cant persuade MH to make the new bird a TF then……?

If you can fly a T-6…..

TT

simple answer is

no

and no…

May get myself in the Stearman this year however with a great deal of good luck.

Being into Merlins, it would have to be a Rolls-Royce R engine (they do exist!)
I did stumble across this Sabre in someones hangar a few years ago, but they wouldn`t let me take it, can`t think why. :confused:

The second wish would have to be a workshop that actually impresses the CAA / PFA inspectors instead of the “shed” I work in now!

Maybe one day when I’ve got the money i’d love to buy one of the Bolingbrokes in Canada, but until then i’d be happy with any bits of Blenheim’s to keep me going till then

I’d also like a sizeable portion of an aircraft, preferably the cockpit area, to work on, ideally something from WW2 but not fussy

Well there are two lovely Lightnings sitting on the pan next to the Beech, 5 mins with a hacksaw and one could be yours John :diablo: Just dont tell Andy (320psi)!!!!

TT

Aviation charts and maps, target maps from WW2, esp Luftwaffe ones of the UK

TTC

Good call on the thread, here are my two items:-

1, English Electric Lightning pitot tube.

2, A ride in the back seat of Red One at this years RIAT.

Any help on the first would be gratefully appreciated, The second………ever tried nailing jelly to a tree!!.

Regards

John.
