Ive just tidied the thread up a bit – whilst we are more than happy to help with part identification, would you please take care with regard to advertising on here. Links and references to your own Ebay auctions should be avoided please.

Cool Thanks for that, right a couple more items. One for the Merlin guys and gals methinks, but clarification if possible.
Gen reads:
AM
Ref 5U/190
Generator Engine Driven
Type KX 24 Volts 1500 Watts
Clockwise
Serial EG 14561
Something in my head is saying Merlin XX – anyone care to comment?
Radio Reads:
Transmitter Type 53
10D/1310
26V
Any ideas?

Brake gauge is probably Vampire, but will fit Spitfire and other warbirds.

Aaarrgghh, those Gill gauges – I’ve got em new, boxed, and no idea what they are! Not very exciting though!
Right – DI, check the date – wartime are worth a little more, but its probably ex Chipmunk or similar!
600 kt ASI – probably Vampire or Venom. Will probably fetch less than a tenner.
Triple brake pressure gauge – depends on the scale – post a pic.
VSI sounds like a standard Mk 3P – used in just about everything postwar, from Vampire to Vulcan.
