Still prefer “A Touch of Brimstone” though…

Well are you going to post the photo, or shall I?…..:diablo:

I agree with Tony’s views.

To me, the absence of the pins/posts on which the brake lever and parking catch are mounted is always a warning that you are looking at a Harvard grip which has merely had the screws which hold the stainless restraining plate removed.

Why would anyone go to the trouble of removing the pins? It’s not as straightforward as unscrewing them, the brake lever pin is also locked in position by a tiny pin which has to be removed – not easy to do.

By contrast, I bought a “proper” Hurricane grip off ebay which was also missing the brake lever and parking catch – however both pins are still in situ.

By proper, I mean it is still attached to the upper portion of the column, and bound to it by years of dirt and corrosion.

I’ll sell it to you for an obscene amount of money, if you like! How about £500 and your grip taken in p/x? 😀

oooh goody, another “let’s discuss the visual differences in Lancs” thread!

If posart’s second shot with the yellow outlined code letter isn’t enough proof that it’s a 1944 or later photo, then this one, also said to be LM720, should do it. It’s been slightly enhanced by me to pick out the window dispenser chute, which was also introduced from mid 1944 onwards.

next! 😀

Seems odd to have gone to such lengths to create a beautiful replica but then not put any armament in it – or signs of armament such as gun ports, etc.

Or have I missed something?

What was Rotax is now Goodrich Power Systems, Pitstone Green (technically the Rotax actuation products became Goodrich Actuation Systems, Wolverhampton via Lucas ). If your looking for anything pre c1970 I understand they’ve binned their archive.

Many thanks Vega ECM, even though your message contains the words I was half expecting to see! Might be worth getting in touch anyway…

And in return for hijacking your thread Elliott, here’s the entry for E.G. Browne and Co. Ltd. Have you tried ringing Tottenham 2257 just in case? 🙂

I just wanted to take this opportunity to point out again that there is NO Shoreham Aerojumble this March. Some listings decided to show it as happening on 24 March….which it isn’t! (That would not have been our date even if we HAD been running it!!!) So…dont have a wasted journey!

Just as well given the current spell of weather! The last thing I need is another overnight stay in a corner of a freezing Shoreham Airport…brrrr

Well I’ve got the Volume I, but I doubt it would be much use. One of the slimmer tomes in my collection. I get the impression that whoever wrote it lost interest before finishing the job!
