I’ve started this thread as a response to Firebex’s thread, just to try and separate the airworthy and non-airworthy wants, as most of the requests seemed to be for static gear. Many Thanks. 🙂
Here’s my starter;-

De Havilland PD30 props and spinners to suit, or any spares. (Ex Proctor etc.)

Proctor main u/c leg fork.
Twinob mag-switches (The Bakelite type fitted to Tigers.)
Bakelite civil-type starter-switches. (Top-Button Type.)
Large-type boost guages, +/- 4lbs. Pre-war.

Thanks For Replies.
Jeepman; Thanks for that Link. It’s a bit of a beast! The Thompson-refuellers were fairly small self-powered three-wheelers. These are ideal in a small civil setting. The Zwicky refuellers were a lorry type tanker with several refuelling booms. I suspect these were also used by the RAF. The chances of either of these surviving is pretty slim…but one has to ask..!
Avion Ancien;- No, I am still persuing that. I’ve been hampered by domestic pressures.
Firebex;- Thanks for that Mike. I will see if they can help. PM sent re Kraguj.
Please keep the replies coming, these parts are all needed to help get airframes up where they belong…:) Further down the line there will a disposal of surplus items.

– Percival Prentice Spinners. Complete or just front or rear shells.

Have you tried the guys at Coventry ?
When I did the start of the rebuild on their Prentice we had two other airframes as spares plus bits it may be worth asking.
