Hi all,
Looking for a Tornado stick to finish a project if anybody has one for sale? Would consider GR1 or Hotas (or both). Usual sources such as eBay seems a little slow at the minute.
Just an update in that the airframe piece the chute was attached to appears to have a Whitley part number??? “SP” which would fit with P5089 ditching in the area too.
I’m no expert on Parachutes but it appears to be post war to me due to the construction. There also seems like there could be more than one type of chute. Could they be ordnance chutes?
It was originally my thought that the chute might be related to the Vampire that went missing in the early 60’s but now I’m lost.
This was washed up recently close to the former Heinkel crash site at between Cley and Blakeney point. Its going to take some sorting but there was a large amount of parachute wrapped around a chunk of airframe. Looks like the parachute had been entangled around a the airframe and then washed up.
Im not sure if the chute and airframe parts are linked or whether just coincidence they have ended up coming together.
Not sure what sitting platform type B is but type C is Lynx.
Thank you; I had heard of the AAC carrying the HK53 So that certainly makes sense
Just thought I would add the last few bits I’m looking for to complete my pair of Lynx armoured seats. I still require the green seat base cushions that go between the PSP and sheepskin top cover, pitot & static vent cover storage bag which attaches to the seat rear, and a Graviner/Kidde fire extinguisher.
Many thanks,
Darren
Thanks guys, and great call on Agillity Junk Collector; just managed to pick up some lights stalk assembly’s I was looking for.
There has been quite a few of these on eBay recently, and i doubt any were authentic. All made hundreds of pounds though.
This is the second time this has appeared, first sold for £410!

Did we loose any F22/24 Spitfires during the war???

Isn’t the AH no. Also Meteor fitment?
Many thanks both; that’s great.
Pics now attached
That’s great; thank you both for the quick reply!
That’s a shame, hopeless cause then, ebay don’t give two hoots and you now can’t raise public awareness either. Surely people are in titled to their opinion? Anyone seen the sudden influx in 1970s typed museum labels nicely aged covering a multitude of subjects. I’ll say more than that.
I believe these guys are one of the few to have been previously prosecuted.

What’s the thoughts on this? Isn’t the ASI face from a glider?
