We would dearly like to track down the remaining parts to enable us to build our ARC52 or PTR175 radio ground station, so we can talk to our JP crew during taxy runs.
Ideally we need a PTR175 control box (see below) and wiring harness.
Alternatively we could complete the same job with a serviceable ARC52 transciever, as we have all the other bits required already, and can exchange a working ARC52 with a perfect looking unit that is u/s.
We can travel to almost any location to liaise and finalise as we are well aware of the weight of these transcievers!

Unfortunately can’t help with ‘B’ but, according to my resource (AP127, Vol 1, part 1, sect 5, chap 5), ‘Ejection seat equipment and parachute decent, table Mk 3 seat, for the use of’………….

Hope that helps?

I’m on the lookout for a Blenheim brake lever, original or repro to have a go at this yoke. Link shows a left handed Bolingbroke example. Mine is right handed making an already difficult ask half as likely.

Radio Transmitter for Westland Scout Project
Hello
Looking for a radio transmitter like the one seen here with the 2 red discs for my Westland Scout project, not sure of the actual make and model(anybody know?) but it was probably made by the firm “Plessey”? I assume that this type of radio would have been fitted to a number of different aircraft of the 1960’s period. Many thanks, Simon

Any of these parts would be great 🙂 For a long term cockpit project – Beaufighter (click on thumbs)
– actually need about four of these ones for a couple of panels I am doing, there is one of these that I need that only goes to two..
Also, and this is a long shot, any castings from the CAC Wirraway, need some for another project, particularly for the rear fuse…
Cheers

Any FN5/ FN50 components gathering dust out there? Would be very grateful for any leads on FN5 turret parts no matter how small, mangled and rusty they are please to assist a project. Not many opportunities left to restore turrets nowadays so would really appreciate any help to try and piece one more back together.
