There is also a substantial collection of post war (Late 40s, 50s, and 60s) assorted aircraft instruments, which have not yet been fully catalogued: (Altimeters, Air Speed Indicators; Rev Counters, Mach meters, etc.)
Instruments are not certified for flight, but will be useful for filling holes in panel projects. Artefacts useful for collections, etc.
We do not want to dump these items on evil bay, when forum members might have a use for them.
PM me if interested. Pics for identification purposes are available.

Re; My previous thread on the 6A/711 Mk.II Artificial Horizon. This has now been released to be included in the disposals.

Apparently. it was chosen to be an alternative to the standard Sperry 1B; but seeing as how both the horizon bar and background plate moved independently; it confused the hell out of pilots who read it as though the the representation of the aircraft was fixed; as with normal artificial horizons. Consequently the instrument was quietly dropped in favour of the standard Mk1 Sperry, 6A-599, and/or Mk1B Sperry, 6A/1519.
Anyone interested? PM me.

Not sure what’s in the “unsorted” box but the Horsa Project at JAM needs a Mk.1 Turn-and-Slip (ours has been sectioned) and a cockpit panel lamp. In fact we have a list of bits we’re still trying to source when John, Trevor and Paul have if you want to check with them.

The Memorial Flight Association are interested in the Aviation Militaire clock. We are rebuilding the Morane AI to 1917 spec, complete with a 160hp Gnome and we have a couple of other projects that it would suit. Can you email me on melvyn at melvynhiscock dot com

If you come across any Air Ministry Mk 4 or 8 Autopilot Gyros, we in the Stirling Project would be very interested.
cheers
