Very impressive collection! Do you know the purpose of the shroud on the first grip? It looks a very big just to hold a button.

It’s actually a balance weight ,inside the casing is full of steel shot &weighs about 1lb.
Unique to the Firefly.

Here is some of my stuff.

1/Fairey Firefly
2/Fairey Firefly
3/Fairey Firefly
4/Blackburn Firebrand
5/Hawker Seahawk
6/Hawker Seafury
7/Meteor
8/Sea Venom
9/Various grips

As mentioned ,oil coolers the same as the one in the diagram were used on Fireflies,but yours is not from a Firefly (the inlet & outlet ports are slightly different)

So out of the three types (that i can think of ) this ruled out the Firefly.
So either Mosquito or Hornet?

Sorry, what I was trying to determine was whether this particular type is for a Mosquito. The fact that it is 50″ long tended to rule out certain other types.

A couple of photos.

Get bidding then, it`s just what you want isn`t it?

I have already made an offer, but he wants twice as much as the engine that you told me about recentley.

Vulture Mk V plate

Hi,

I have a Vulture Mk V, main plate.
Having seen references to the Rolls Royce Vulture mk I & II as being fitted to the Avro Manchester.

I have not been able to find any reference to a Rolls Royce Vulture Mk V !

Does any one know about this mark of Vulture?

cheers

There were several single seat sea Vampires at the yard.

No these are single seat Vampire cockpits.
