I beileve that the rear fuselage,tailplanes& some wing sections went to Colin Waterworth for his He111 project but this has since moved on.
Fairey Firefly Mk 7:)
Martyn, the comments in post #235 are meant to be light hearted, hence the 😀 icons. And when the said item actually sold i was not the next highest bidder, as someone else was bidding too. No problemo 😉
Rob
The Firebrand hub was listed twice as the first winner didnt want it.
So Wyvernfan could have bid on a diferent listing to the one that i won.:cool:
Yeah thats the fella. So your not tempted to put in an offer for the ebay prop blade then Andrew?
Rob
If it had its original paint finish & at drastically reduced price!:eek:
Thats been for sale on and off for over twelve months now Lee. But there was also a Firebrand prop hub that sold on ebay last year. I did go for it but got outbid, but had i been successful then i might of made an offer on this prop blade to make up a nice display.

Hi Rob i think this is the one you are talking about,i was lucky enough to win it.:)
A couple of my favorites,Firefly & Firebrand.
Curtiss electric propeller attached to P&w twin Wasp reduction gear.
Err,no & dont no:(
I Absolutley agree,Good stuff Brian;)
Now if you could persuade a certain Group leader to part with an Ex Martinet ,Mercury ,for the project ,that would be a miracle:p
By all accounts Tim its a lovely project showing great determination and a very worthy subject, so well done mate :).
Rob
Yep will do ,one day:D
You can talk Mr Vulture. A Firefly project thread is waaaaaaaaay overdue as well ;).
Rob
Told you so Tim:)
You’re too modest Tim. Judging by the pics you have shown me your project is up there with the best of them.
Infact its good enough for a project thread all of its own, cough – nudge – cough 😉

…..A question, what is the green stuff (trade name / manufacturer etc), of the green material that the sheet-metal guys make their form blocks from??
Very nice, would love a peek left on that shelf!
Here is some of the stuff out of shot ,on another shelf:)
