    It is a lovely item….it suffers from being Spitfire (weird to say I know…..but you know what I mean). There are some cracking other parts from less popular types which are around….kind of makes that halifax nose glazing worth the money? I think so….would jump at it but for other projects.

    It is a seat from a Spitfire/Seafire. Potentially airworthy or not it is very definitely worth many times more than scrap metal value as a historical artifact that restorers and collectors would die for. Stick it on ebay and watch what happens!

    In my garage I have a tail wheel from a Lancaster, which is probably worth a fiver in scrap metal value (if that). It is a tail wheel from a Lancaster so it is worth a lot more than £5 to somebody who values it’s history (at least, I hope so because I paid a lot more than that).

    Too right Alan! I have a smooth tyre one but want an anti shimmy wheel

    It has always struck me that I wouldn’t want to be sitting with a row of pyrotechnic devices right under my crown jewels….

    I suppose they had to be stowed somewhere!

    Dunno about you Andy, but my crown jewels have always been stowed in my underwear!!! Next to my gentleman’s sausage!!!:D

    Well done MerlinPete for that candid and well articulated response. I have always enjoyed and admired your work….I admire you even more for putting your hand up to this…we’ve all done something ‘silly’….it takes a big, well respected person to admit to it in public so others can learn.

    Much of aviation is about learning from experience or mistakes (or someone else’s) and best practice.

    There are two types of people….those that have made mistakes and those that have not (and have never lived).
