Are you bringing it to CockpitFest then Jason?
Late spit throttle box/parts!
I wish I could – it is on my to do list!!
Lots around, I bought 2 sets of NOS for my projects (red, amber, green)
lovely items, apparently/allegedly also used on Ford GT40s at some stage!!
Cost: £4-£10 depending on condition – good for discos!!
what have you got for sale?
I may be interested in some of it
So might I in Aviation related stuff!!
Ok, status so far.
It would appear that Landguard Fort and Felixstowe Museum and MAPS at Rochester are not interested.
We are also around £500 shy on the acquistition cost.
So we have 2 problems:-
A Home – any suggestions/offers?
Money – again, any suggestions?
After over 30years in active aviation preservation, I have realised that I cannot do it all and save everything. But this relic is worthy of preservation.
Any suggestions welcome as are offers of practical help.
If it was Spitfire we would not even be having this discussion!!
I think it would be nice if the project was represented at CockpitFest Mike.
I may (if time permits, pop a small display together, if you wish I could add leaflets and a collecting can?).
nope I was bidding on it as it is also early Hurri….hey ho!
Hi Tony touble is which one is it as I understand rightly the one we want is somewhere between the one fitted to the Spit and the one in the nose of a Mossie ?.Its the bit on the very end that sets it apart fromt standard if I understand it correctly.Many thanks for the offer.
mine is Spit I believe
i have a crash 20mm hispano that the project could measure
I cannot afford the whole lot!
It is wholly possible that with suitable donations, transport and a home (Landguard Fort? or NSAM) that this float could be saved.
Anyone interested in helping?
What a brilliant idea!!! Sounds worthy of spirit of cockpitfest! skype would be cool!
Landguard Fort would be an entirely appropriate place for it. Please PM me details and your aspirations.
Great Blog there Garry! Keep it coming!:)
