You can never rule these things out!

Here’s a scrapyard find from a few years back. Complete with EEP and HP61 numbers, etc.

I notice someone’s nicked the throttle quadrant!

Mind if I search your home and garage, sir? :diablo:

Squinting at the writing above the artificial horizon, I fancy I can make out something like –323, so you may be right.

It’s certainly not a standard wartime Halifax judging by all the mods.

Surely the B 24’s high wing rules it out?

Saturday 25th March.

Take lots of money!

It’s British, it’s post-war, it’s obviously a twin piston engined machine, the engine control console lies in the centre between the two seats. There is little to tell whether it’s a civilian or a military type, but my betting is on civilian…

Just an observation…

Avionics, instruments, switches etc may not be too difficult to source as they were all standard items for the most part.

If I was looking for Vulcan control handles at an aerojumble, I would expect to pay at least £200 each and I suspect the price will rise once XH558 flies again. And it must be about three years since I last saw one?

But, if I recall correctly, the handles were sawn off along with the part of the column that they attach to, so you would need to be looking for replacements for those, too. I would imagine they are even harder to track down since they are less collectable than the handles.
