Unique Stirling controls for sale in Holland

I echo Cees comments- IIRC most of the systems Work!

I last saw it a few years ago when I popped up with Clive Kemp – glad to hear Pino’s still involved!

Hi John,

Yes, pics would be eargerly awaited here on the forum.

The nose turret looks fantastic, compared to what you started
out with, it’s nothing short of a miracle.

Hi Cees,

Now that I have a digital camera, Im hoping to post some pics of our instrument panel/throttle box assembly, I just need to add the blind flying panel and I’m having a bit of trouble sourcing some final bits (see help needed thread). The Nose gun turret is coming on apace after a 2 year interlude with my working away from the area and I’ll add some photos of that as well.

Morning all,

The Stirling Project are monitoring the situation with regard to this item. I believe that Giuseppe has been in touch…..

John

Glad to know, Hope something gets out of it. Giuseppe knows
about this one for years.
Any update on the project so far?

Cheers

Hi Cees

Is it still available? I don’t read dutch alas…

The add has been removed, presumably it is either sold or the owner decided to not sell it after all.

Helaas. Deze advertentie is verwijderd.
Niet getreurd, op Marktplaats.nl kunt u bijna altijd een ander, vergelijkbaar product vinden.

Unfortunately. This advertisement has been removed. Not lamented, on Marktplaats.nl you can find almost always a another, similar product. (courtesy of babelfish)

Hmmm, wonder if someone who reads this forum has done a deal with the man, Cees?

I agree. And to think that this very item had been on display for a few years at our musuem until the owner (who was in his seventies) needed money and sold it (without informing the museum’s board) for 200 guilders (one pound was worth 3,5 guilders at the time).

Several years later it turned up again. But I was able to ask the then owner to take some measurements for the Stirling Project.

I hope it finds a good home though.

Cheers

aaah I remember fondling those controls in Zutphen totally unique, but I think too pricey for most UK pockets !

I’m waiting till I get the rest of the aeroplane back from China :diablo:

Peter,

No, Giuseppe et al are on a strict budget. I know the seller, he
wants a lot of dough for it. I thought about getting it for them
but don’t think a good enough deal would be achieved.

Cees

Too pricey for me

Nice part though but out of my league. Have you sent this to the stirling boys?

Wot!!

Not interesting enough? Is a wing walking Blue Peter presentress more
interesting?:confused: :diablo:

I hope this ends up with a serious collection instead of ending up gathering dust in an attice somewhere in Holland. These things don’t grow on trees you know.:cool:

Cheers
