These are single lug 4ba anchor nuts produced by Simmonds, may have some of these in the workshop and will have a looksee in the morning for you.

The seafire fuselage was sold to HFL a few years back by both owners.

Personnly I think its time now that the Goverment gave their full backing to Andy Saunders and others who spend thier own hard earned cash and time to do the job that the goverment should be doing, bringing peace of mind to those families who lost their loved ones who paid the price for our freedom which sometimes is abused today by some.
As a ex serviceman who’s father, uncles and other family relatives fought in both world wars I will always be indebted to those who paid the ultimate price.
I know Andy and others have even put thier own freedom at risk in the past to carry out those digs where the aircrew have no known graves at the families/groundowners request yet the goverment ignore these requests on the basis it will mean they cannot afford another office refurbishment at some unknown backstreet office.

To you Andy I say thank you.

Rant over 😀

I recall speaking to 2 ex 152 sqdn BoB pilots many years ago who had nothing but praise for their ground crews, especaily those who looked after Pilot officer Pooch whilst they were flying.

I know this is an old thread,but parts from this Mosquito have appeared on ebay recently,offered by a seller in Buckinghamshire.

Is there not something which stops people from selling crashed aircraft items on ebay?

This sticks in my throat when its known that people have died giving thier lives for our freedom and not to make money out of them
