I`ve not seen that many `bald` tyres,that size in the U.K…and this one looks in good condition Peter.There are a few scrap yards in the South West that still have wartime stuff in locally,which have been quite fruitful,but they tend to be in `the sticks`

Crikey…looks like Stirling..(26.5×21″ tyre?)difficult to get a scale though!!! could be Lanc.. any hub numbers? the railway carriages are interesting too….

Yes, I was aware of that one and have made some attempts to obtain it from the RAF Museum, even if on loan at the time. The even have two, the other is a sectioned example for instructional purposes. The Trustees were very clear, they are not a warehouse where you can buy items. I can understand that but having one Halifax and three throttle boxes……

The one advertised in flypast was offered for 65 pounds at the time and was said to have come from a museum. That’s all I remember.

Now, any Hampden throttle boxes lying in your garage?

Great item though Cees,a lot cheaper than my column……..
Yes must be frustrating trying to get stuff from the RAFM collection especially when they have mutiples of stuff.Still it`s nice as a reference point for future generations and I know the museum is very precious of its collection.
