My new toy!

Got this today, sadly no history (the grip I already had) very pleased with it all the same. It needs a few bits. Namely the connecting rods for the drive chains, Does anybody have deatails on these so that I can have some made up or better still a source for them. Also I would like the connectors for attaching the air lines to the grip, any ideas?

This “WW2 Trench Art” has been made using post-war rifle cartridges (and a post-war piston ashtray) :rolleyes:

😀 Oh dear. Though to be fair a vast majority of what gets called “WWI trench art” was made after 1919 for battlefield tour souvenirs, so one could be generous and say that this is just continuing that tradition. However it in my opinion has ruined an otherwise nice piston ashtray. I have one of these ashtrays but do not really know much about them. I have seen a figure of 4000 being produced. Can this really be correct? As they seem to turn up too often on evil bay for there just to be 4000 of them assuming that the vast majority will be in static collections by now.

Got to be an Avro something, Tudor maybe?

Has nobody mentioned the ball turret? Loads of milage there. Gunner stuck in the turret and the wheels will not come down, putting the pilot in an impossible situation.
