Arrrrgh ! cant believe I missed this before. Some one told me they were round here, I`ve been checking the dive site at North Cave waiting for them. Is the owner enthusiast friendly, I would like to visit this weekend.
Thank you NC900. There are electrical connections and bulbs on the compass but I dont actually have it yet so can not give anymore details. From what I have been reading about Bendix this was the news I had been waiting (hoping) for. A fiver well spent I think.
Sorry I should have said the instrument is a compass. What I am looking for is age and possible types it was used on.
Hope no body minds me adding another one here. Thought it would be better than starting another thread.The name plate reads:- Made in U.S.A Type No 1809-4-B Serial No H-2619 PIONEER INSTRUMENT. Division of BENDIX AVIATION CORP. BENDIX NEW JERSEY . Thanks in advance.
Thank you Consul. I will look forward to confirmation and maybe some pics. Is there any thing in particular that makes it stand out as this aircraft.
Thank you. Maybe a Doug Arnold aircraft then ? I have sent a message to the seller to ask where the picture comes from. Maybe this will help.
Thank you Landraver and Consol. Did you go upstairs into the tail section. While in Beverley it had a very intresting display with a Para ready to jump from the hatch. Will have to visit soon. I have no excuse, its right on my door step.
The Army Transport Museum was an excellent museum, its a real shame it is no longer there. Great memorys of playing in some of the vehicles and riding in the DUKW. Does any body know where the Rhino went after the museum closed. It was like a monster truck designed to carry supplies.
And even further off topic. Where did the T-34 from Hornsea pottery go.
Sorry to drag this one back up. Has any body visited paull recentley.The web site is still having problems. I would like to know if the public can now tour the Beverley. Some thing I have not done since I was about ten when it was at the Army Transport Museum.
Maybe a film adapted from the recent book (sorry cant remember the name, will get round to buying it soon) about the Black Buck missions. With a starring / money making role for XH558. That I would loveto see.
Not the usual but..
Blue and yellow sports/stunt planes. Low wing with what I think were white squares on the outer, under sides. Just past over Goole East Yorks. In a very very very close tail chase barrel role. Any info ?
How about one of these in your garden. Beats those little Red Arrows and Spitfires seen on every airshow stall.
Excellent pics Pen Pusher. Was the Huey brought back from the Falklands ?
Hi Junk collecter. I have just finished reading this thread. Very intresting.
