You probably have it already but there was a complete Piston provost blind flying panel for sale at Shoreham, I have the sellers details if you need them.

Probably wrong but reminds me of the end of a large throttle box .

Nick never heard of the Barkley-Grow T-8P. So whats the difference just the weight? I sold my Link trainer wheel some time back, remember that it was a very heavy thing! The arrow on the bottom spoke was that exclusive to the Barkley-Grow T-8P or Lockheed L10 yoke or do Links carry this symbol as well?

Another company in the states this time selling grips as well as yokes are these people:
http://aviationwarehouse.net/novelties-for-sale.html
I have never used them so don’t know much about them, the site is worth a browse., some cockpit sections also for sale.

Oncealoft (above link) is a good source for control yokes, they have a good variety of American yokes, reputable if not a tad expensive and I have never had any problems with them in the past. Once in a while you will get the odd warbird yoke turn up on the site, the interesting thing about their yokes is that they generally come with the provenance of the aircraft which they were removed from. Their own collection is pretty impressive and is detailed on the site. I’ve done plenty of deals with these guys and can recommend them.

On a separate note and nothing to do with the above entry ,I also think Spitfire nose up/down gauges and also under carriage gauges are also replicated, again no doubt to them being extremely scarce.

I didn’t buy the gauge – it doesn’t look right to me.

This is the ebay listing:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ww2-spitfire-37-gallon-fuel-gauge-good-condition-/271439448175?nma=true&si=sjBcRllO5b8aY6pwCzEsfR%252FPhtU%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

Looking at the items for sale I think I recognise this seller from Aerojumble events ie Shoreham / Newark etc. Certainly an experienced seller and I would be surprised if he wasn’t a forum member.

This is the problem with repros over time diluting the pool of aviation artefacts. Where theres money there is a market. If we have to look twice at the instrument then perhaps the seller doesn’t realise that he is selling fakes. The issues of cost of these guages ( in the hundreds of pounds) the availability and the health issues of radium paint can make these guages quite attractive to collectors. In an ideal world if would be nice if the words “reproduction” were discretely etched on a small corner of the back case, hopefully not spoling the showing of the front. Out of interest how much did you purchase these for?

Technology is so good these days that its hard to tell which are originals and which are not. Items that are produced and sold in good fairh as reproductions pass through many hands and as time progresses they get lost in translation and sold as originals. From memory don’t the originals have raised paint (almost 3D effect) along the numbers 0-37 and the circular line (in essence the brown painted part at the bottom) as this part was hand painted?

I’m no button expert but that does look a lot like the “Spit” type. They were of course used on many other things, though ebay suggests otherwise.
I must leave ebay alone for a while. This can’t happen again.
