They also had damn near enough gauges to fit out a B36 cockpit. 2 or 3 were mine

That, sadly, is the down side and extreme risk you take lending ANYTHING to a museum … I have a not altogether pleasant history with a nautical museum here in the US. The only real ways you have to protect in your stuff are, 1) Visit it every day, 2) Have a legal agreement that includes steep monetary penalties if they damage or lose your stuff, or 3) Never lend it in the first place.

The opposite side skin & a valve cover from PA908 was also there, but a previous manager stripped the place & sold a lot of stuff off. None of it was his. I lost an R2800 cylinder & cam ring. Just glad the main wheel wasn’t loaned to the place, I still have that 🙂

Nice shot of Spitfire PR Mk.XI PA908 which is now at the US Air Force Museum

A nice piece of “Stiletto” there.
