In that condition….expect to pay around £1500-£2500….it is one of the best I have seen. Given a couple of keen bidders… who knows.
They are lovely items…but I am biased!
That Hurricane spade grip is exceptional…..beautiful!
You are a lovely chap Tony! Many thanx
I have a photo which I will post after the museum meeting tonight – if noone else has. It was brilliant – i thought the seat mechanism was very advance too.
We had a great time and enjoyed chatting to many visitors about Mustangs and Spitfires.
Just got back….greatweekend albeit damp….thanx chaps!
cheers Jules and chaps…just got in from the shop…..only 2 instruments left to fit, then a bit of touching up oooooh errr missus!! Anyway, off to bed!
I think if we all text Chris Evans that is a good idea!
How sad. We only had his commemoration at BD today
Tee hee! We made the Jo Whiley show on Radio 2 – great plug. I sent a text saying I was frantically working on my Spitfire Cockpit and tomorrow my daughters and I would be on our way to CockpitFest. Asked to say hi to the other cockpiteers! Anyhoo, she said that around 20:22. And did giggle saying does it really exist. She said she would google it. Played Little Minx song and then confirmed CockpitFest does exist and gave us a real good plug – even joking that she might present her show there next year. Obviously she was reading some stuff off the mighty TO’s/NAMs website!!!
Anyways, I have a column to fit and some underpants to catch and wash!!!
Bon voyage and safe journeys to all!
Thanx also for the best wishes from everyone. This is a great event. I have been sending a daily blog to the Chris Evans show – no luck so far!!
Matt, your Lightning will go down a scream dont worry!!!
Well, just about to eat pasta and then bolt in the pedals and column….hoover first!!!
Then rivet in the throttle plate and fit all the instruments – it will be a late night.
I decided to build the Mk1 at last year’s fest – it should be all finished bar the throttle box!!!
Looking forward to it too……and seeing everybody’s stuff!
I still have to: fit the column, all the instruments and pedals!!!!! Looks like I will be working all thursday night.
I will bring my stamps – if I remember!!!!
Could you find a shaker or two please? We could see if they fit? And we could check the numbers Nimgen gave me
Are you coming to the Fest Bruce?
Is it on this ?
Unfortunately not! Mine came from there
My bottom is more spitfire than that ASI!!!
Come to the aerojumble this weekend!!
