Proctor Fuel ****.

I’m trying to establish details of the Fuel C o c k used in the Proctor. In it’s outward appearance, as mounted, it has a round knurled knob with a pointer and looks unlike the more usual Vickers Fuel C o c k – or versions of it – utilised on so many other British a/c of the period.

Questions then;-

1) What is it’s part-number?
2) Does anyone have a photo – or photos – of one out of the a/c to better identify the unit?
3) Who made it?
4) Was there only one version used – or was it changed or modified as the a/c was developed throughout the Proctors various iterations…??
5) Was this model of Fuel-C o c k used on any other a/c type..?
5) Does anyone have one?

Answers to any and all of the above most gratefully received….!

S.

Ps;- Perhaps a Mod could correct the title as the system will not permit me to remove the daft asterisks….!

Snoopy send me a PM with email address. I can mail pic of the one in situ in our Mk 3. From memory they are the same type on all Proctor marks, not sure who made it though.
Where do you live, I ask as you would be welcome to come and inspect first hand, we have others in store for the other airframes, not sure if we are able to part with any
