…..c.1927 after the Air
Ministry had purchased the land. They were placed along the boundary
with public roads but particularly where the Air Ministry boundary
changes direction or at each entrance to the aerodrome and domestic
site…….

an exerpt from that site.

I think that clarifies it nicely, THANK YOU ALL!!!:D

The idea of doing one of Usworth circa 1940 for our place has been talked about for years. Just one of those things which has never been started (yet)

doesn’t look like a griffon prop, even though the tip looks good, the ‘fat end’ at the hub appears to be much squarer on the pic about 3/4 down this page:

Air Ministry Boundary Marker

so simply placed around the boundary of the airfield. Any dates they were used? Surely a fence would have sufficed….

Thanks for the info. any more is always good though..

Not big enough, no mooring points, and its from Usworth – no airships. Sorry.

It is about 3 ft high, shaped at the top (more pleasing on the eye), and the only markings are what you can see. Its got to be some kind of marker, but for what??

It is a good question though – What value do you put on a piece of scap aluminium?
Who would find a phantom fin a significant piece of aviation history? (Plenty of pilots out there would probably like it in their office at home…) .

Engineless Shar? Not many have found their way to museums yet, but what are they really WORTH?

Monetary value often does not represent worth…

BF109 fins have hit £2500 on e-bay. Sections of aluminium less than a square foot – scrap value of about 30p, and yet they still sell for more than a good second hand car…

You must not get mixed up between worth and value, and historic value and monetary value.

On a personal note, I think the seller was asking WAY too much, but then again, I wouldn’t spend that kind of money on an aeroplane when i NEED a deposit for a house…………each to their own.

They are not 1940’s but will be ok for just general overalls. You won’t get in the dance wearing them……:diablo:

Where on earth would you find enough spares to enable another RTF status Buccaneer, would be my main question.

A few years ago there was a dealer in Birtley, Tyne and Wear who had 3 Bucc cockpit sections, and a large industrial unit FULL to the brim of boxed Bucc spares including a couple of brand new canopies. I had a rummage around (with the owners consent) and there was all kinds there, from tyre valves to instrumentation, to engine bits and panels. The dealer is no longer there and I don’t recall the name. The cockpits were exposed to the weather and didn’t stay there very long. The stuff is out there to have a Bucc RTF. HHA’s would be the most likely candidate in the uK though.

They were held up by a single stubborn nut for a couple of hours too! Being a Tonka man, I thought that the job would be finished by lunchtime… one tends to forget that these pipes have not been out of the aircraft since the 80’s, and such pipe removals are reasonably rare these days. Incidently, both pipes were out and loaded by 8PM. A job well done.
