Is it right that the AWACS air combat controller is switching shifts in the middle of a dog fight or have I read this wrong?

Nimrod yoke on eBay minus switches, item 182455158996

We must remember that although it is possibly a fake the current owner may and probably isn’t aware that he has acquired such an item. No doubt it has passed through many hands over the 100 years or so.

I always think Spitfire Spares come across some good stuff. Amazing what’s still out there, just a matter of having the right contacts and the finding items I suppose.

There’s a well known saying amongst treasure hunters, expedition explorers and even aviation memorabilia collectors which goes along the lines of ‘The chase is better than the acquisition itself’
I wish the project luck regardless of the outcome, for me and many others ‘Its all about the Chase’

Solution, if you are aware of any fakes being sold just mention them on here without referring to the seller or where they are being advertised . At least potential buyers will be aware that such items of fraud are on the market when coming across them during their normal Internet surfing. Or aerojumbling.

Yes certainly a good show which grows each year. I was disappointed that the Nimrod and Comet weren’t able to run this year. The Shackleton being open for inspection was a most welcome addition. However the Hanger which housed the Beech 18 seemed closed this year.
The show has certainly come on from when it first started. The main attraction for attending this event being the ‘up close and personal’ experience you get to these jets tearing down the runway. I suppose as the show increases in popularity and aircraft participation the health and safety and liability rules start to kick in, this being inevitable and a difficult balancing act no doubt for the organisers. However I guess some people don’t want to give up the ‘close and personal experience’ which the open days catered for when it first started. However safety should always prevail and spectators need to listen to the safety marshals. If anyone hasn’t been to this show which is held twice a year I throughly recommend it.
