Now that got your attention didn’t it :dev2:
This year has been quite fortuitous to my good self and my collection is bulging with new goodies.
For me christmas always used to start in March with the Shoreham aerojumble, and finished in September with the Shoreham aerojumble, filled in between with other aerojumbles.
As we approach the end of the good season, and the winter nights draw in, I thought I would ask everyone what has been your best find this year, with pictures preferably, be it photo’s, that much needed part for a project, whatever and even better was it a bargain !!!
And to show I am not prejudiced all Spitfire ephemera welcome

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! 🙁

I didn’t know that you were also interested in V-bombers (top shelf, 18th book from the left).
Arjan,
I have a broad interest in things with props but anything British between 1935 and 1950 has my attention with Handley Page as priority (Handley Page Hampden, Halifax and Victor):) . Not much books on föhns but a few about the V-bombers and the Meteor.
