sounds fun!!
my wishlist is nice weather and a big hunk of pork (no not you Mike!!! oooh errr missus!)
I can’t find him in any ETPS list either. So a maintenance TP or perhaps ‘grandfather rights’ TP
should be 5D/553…..will be generic….sorry….

Thanx for the advert Graham! The oil temp gauge is being sold to raise money for a museum not me. The other stuff is from my collection…I did not think a pre-requesite to sell on Ebay was being a dealer.
Dunno why you have a problem with me old chap? Feel free to email or PM me and tell me why…
Wot no helicopters?! 🙁
Given they are such crucial assets, at least one would be good…but then again, they are probably all being utilised
Welcome David!
I just picked up the attachment…it is absolutely identical to the classic oil temp gauge but has a black bezel and no legend for the ‘liquid’ just the 0-100deg scale. It has the added benefit of no Ra!!!!! I think it is pre-war something like a Hart or Fury….any ideas? It has a lovely long sender unit and ‘cable’
exactly right Ian….collective…..similar to sea king
hope you are back weilding (sp?!) your mighty stick again soon Brian
it is fair to say I enjoy your photos and regular updates….the distance, work, etc preclude me visiting as much as I would like…so you pix are a tonic
They are not too bad on trolleys, or without internals Robert
A couple more:
No, none of it left with RNHF; all went for scrapping (although many small items purporting to be from TF956 were still being sold by private individuals at aerojumbled up and down the land well into the late 1990s at least). One properller blade is still in the Yeovil area, but that’s about it. None of the remains were used in the rebuild of VR930 as a:) they were too badly corroded, and b:) it is MoD policy not to use crashed aircraft items in other aircraft.
Lots of the stuff, including the engine went to a guy who polishes and sells parts. Even though it had been in the sea for 2 weeks, the magnesium parts were in terrible condition. The spade grip remains are shown in the attached piccy so you can see what Lee means!
Yes chaps, but would you really pay £3.5k for a replica? Could put together a reasonable static for that?! The parts on Ebay would have been cheaper
Sorry Bruce!
Thats the problem with the forum sometimes you dont know who the person behind the user name is, when i offered to send you a mag switch i thought you were just a poor formulite with a project. When I realised who you were a dealer after a freebie, someone I have bought quite a bit from myself I thought you would be more than capable of getting one yourself.
By the way I still have the genuine mosquito door you sold me :rolleyes: you know the one with Mosquito stencilled across the glass.
A. I am NOT a dealer. I have released items to you cheaply which tend to end up on your site.
B. I was happy to BUY from someone including you…not after a freebie
C. The ‘Mosquito’ door came to me with mosquito stencilled on it, you were party to the debate on this very forum and I repeated that to you when you bought it cheaply from me at Popham. I do not lie.
D. You have asked for late Spitfire spade grips on this site so why cannot I ask for a mag switch.
E. You knew who I was, I would rather you didnt offer in the first place.
I do not wish to fall out with anyone, but do not call me a dealer Graham. I have a day job and have to sell surplus items in order to run my projects which are displayed for free.
In the words of the BoB film…its unforgiveable, I lost my temper!
nice tyffie grip!
