Luftwaffe memorabilia sale

Did anyone work out the history for that fin? I remember seeing a werke number on it… That was the star of the auction in my humble opinion.

Take a look at lot 108 from the Collector´s Sale.

anyone got a pic of this fin?

I wonder, how it might have gone without the swastika 😀

The Bf 109 tail fin went for GBP 5600,- Oh my god, now you can guess, how much a complete Bf 109 might cost.

Told ya £500 was a bit unrealistic!

Well done HP!

TT

This was real fun.
Watching and listening online. 🙂
I was lucky with in my eyes the most beautiful and correct panel in that auction. The Bf 109 G-2 for GBP 1050,- Thanks to HP!!!

The Ju 88 panel went as a bargain, too. only GBP 620,-
Someone must be lucky now.

The Revi 16D went for 1550,-
The KG 13 control grip with the column and a bit of Bf 109 E on it went for GBP 3300,- 😮 The Bf 109 tail fin went for GBP 5600,- Oh my god, now you can guess, how much a complete Bf 109 might cost.

Hi HP, if you don’t mind me asking, which items did the best? I bet the revi gunsight did well.

Hope you got good money for your panels too.

Cheers

Today

Some of the stuff sold amazingly well. Many went away with real bargains though and good for them!

A fascinating day.

Herr E Pleine

So – how did it go for everybody this morning? Did you get what you wanted?

I had my eye on a very nice photo album but it sold for four times the estimate 😮 and twice what I bid 🙁

And sorry HP – it wasn’t in your bit of the auction.

Crikey! What a blooody Ripper stash.

MAN, that’s a lot of amazing stuff Hairy mate!:eek:

It must kill ya to part with it all, are there something’s thing in the collection that are painful to part with, as it look’s like you have some younger day’s thing’s going too;) .

Yes a LOT of possiblilty’s there, but money’s what count’s in the end.

(might ave ta buy a Tatt’s ticket:rolleyes: )

I am alway’s hangin to see more German aircraft Existing once again, in any form, but it’s just magic to see more flying again.:cool:

I am sure it will make some very rich people’s very happy mate, and hopefully allow you to continue your other great project you love so much.

Happy Landing’s HP mate! 😉

Ooooo Rooooo from Oz!, Ciao all Catch ya’s;)

Aaaaah, model planes.

I remember a certain individual piling into my 1/4 scale Sopwith Pup with his DR1 – first flight of a full weekend of flying. I managed to land most of it and was picking up the rest when Zee German came over and said, ‘I bent my crankshaft on your U/C axle, can I borrow your engine for the rest of the weekend?’

Herr E Pleine

Was hoping you wouldn’t remember me turning your Pup into a solartex bag!

How things have changed and you have now come over to the dark side (zee Germans!)

Hope the auction goes well – wish I had few more bucks!

Model planes

Aaaaah, model planes.

Like a mug I did!

I gave up scale model planes when I started to collect 1/1 scale.

I still have my 1/4 scale Triplane. A chum crashed it and it was all in a bin bag ready to be chucked out. The only thing sticking out of the bag was the rear fuz and tailplane – it was mangled big time.

I glued it all together and had it flying again in 3 weeks. It must have flown a couple of hundred times since but now gathering dust in the heli hangar.

I might just get it out one of these days.

Me109 tail fin – The auction catalogue mentions ‘later repairs’ to this fascinating piece. In fact, the added bits are internal stiffeners – it would have been fairly flimsy otherwise.

Love to know the history of it.

Surely possible with the serial numbers?

Fingers crossed for OW weather tomorrow. Just off to Sywell ( again) this evening in the R44.. Rumour has it that I might have won a trophy for the Bestmann – thanks Stampe for flying it up today. Sh@t happens…somebody had to do it.

Herr E Pleine

I believe Herr Pleine is, or possibly was, a celebrated builder of scale model aircraft.

Indeed Her Pleine was a celebrated Remote Control RfC ace and a deadly exponent of the turning low-level dogfight with his 1/4 scale Sopwith Pup.

One particularly remembers a low level fight over the Tirpitz at an Elvington airshow – it seems a lifetime ago!

1:1 scale and R/C! They’re lovely.

What a git:diablo:

Good Lord, there are some simply amazing items in there. The period magazines and documentation are jaw-dropping… as is that 109 fin and the stein from FFS A/B 115.

Best of luck with the sale, had my wife and I not just purchased a house, I’d be bidding on those magazines!

Hi TT,

THe DH prop isnt mine. My stuff is purely the Luftwaffe stuff in the first section, plus a couple of my old model planes – SE5a, my lovely 1/3 Bowers FlyBaby and the Steiglitz. Those Seidel 7 cyl engines are scarce and, I think were a busting load of money when they were new.

The price on the DH prop might reflect the reserve that the owner is putting on it.

Lets see what happens!

HP

‘Preciate the Dh prop wasnt yours Hairy – sorry I didnt make that clear… did you build the model aircraft yourself or did you purchase them – they’re rather nice!

Must own that i had no idea flying models were so expensive, My Dad has a shed load of them…. (Praps not so nicely built and a bit more battered…..)
