VGS342 Pulleys

We have some of these in stock, new and unused. How many do you need?

Give me a call.

Sadly scrapped

This was indeed scrapped, sometime in the late 70s/early 80s. Great shams as it was substantially complete when “stored” at Snake Valley.

I guess some parts could still exist. I guess you could say it’s one crime was not being a Spitfire!

Bedsheet Bomber

I believe this was the B-25 which appeared briefly in the film 633 Squadron in a semi natural-metal finish. From there to Biggin Hill (where the spar was cut – great bit of forward planning), and thence on to Southend, Duxford and finally North Weald.

As for ownership, I understand the above name is correct. Had heard a price tag of around £25K attached to this aeroplane, but this is not direct from the owner so take with a word of caution.

Would be nice to see her finally come in from the cold – a B-25 deserves a better future than simply roting away. Life is, however, not always that simple.

The aeroplane at Sandtoft, “Laiden Maiden” was in a lot better state when I last saw her four or so years ago. Bad exfoliation to one of the port centre section spar booms, but as B-25s go, a restorable airframe. I believe the centre section has been lifted without spreader-bars being fitted, so unknown and potentially fatal damage may have ben caused.

Come on up when you can.

Harrier Cockpit of interest, per chance?

Was interested to see the post. We have a surplus Harrier GR.3 cockpit availabe for sale or trade. Internally stripped (but we can help with some bits), the cockpit is in great shape with windscreen and canopy. Drop me a note if you’re interested.
